The coat distribution event was organized in collaboration with the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation, renowned for its dedication to enhancing the lives of veterans, active-duty military and their families.

The event also offered more than just coats; essential winter items like socks, cough drops and lotion were available, catering to a broader range of needs.

At the heart of this event was Joe Houghton, a veteran and owner of Maaco West Springfield, which has been serving the community since 1990. 

“As a veteran myself, I felt it was my duty to help in any way I could,” Houghton said. “I am always happy to be a partner to my community and help as many veterans and families as I can.”
