“Our Winter Coat Drive is an important initiative that we look forward to every year, because it allows us to provide winter coats to so many people in this community who need them,” said Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis. “All of us at the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office are grateful to our sponsors who help us make this happen, and we thank the WooSox Foundation for their continued support of this great cause.”
