Through Jan. 31, Top Food & Drug Stores, including the new Top Food at 7320 170th Ave. NE in Redmond, are collecting donations for the 13th annual Warm Coats for Kids campaign.

Requested items include new or gently worn coats, hats, scarves and mittens. Donations will be distributed to women’s and children’s centers in Puget Sound by Northwest Center (http://nwcenter.org).

Customers of Top Food & Drug have donated between 5,000 and 6,000 coats annually to the drive in recent years. Other participating Top stores include those in Bellevue, at 15751 NE 15th St., and in Woodinville, at 17641 Garden Way NE.
