People waited in the cold morning air outside Lewis Hall at EVMS on

Saturday where a Coats for Kids giveaway was taking place. Jimmie

Drewitt, 5, left, snuggles under his father, Tony's, shirt while

Toheryl, 2, clings to his mom Cheryl and 6-month-old Jimeryl lies

bundled in her stroller. Coats for Kids is an annual event in which

EVMS students team up with several local businesses to solicit

donations of winter coats for distribution to needy children

throughout Southeastern Virginia. Saturday was the first giveaway;

another Coats for Kids giveaway will take place on November 18 from

9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
