The Enterprise — Michael Koff

“Five-thousand coats would be amazing,” says Kaitlyn Drobner at Crossgates Mall in Guilderland last Thursday as she speaks about how she came up with the idea for Katie’s Koats, when she visited New York City and saw a homeless veteran. The first year, over 1,200 coats were collected; the second year, 3,500 were collected; this is the third year. Guilderland Town Board member Brian Forte said that he would like to see Guilderland residents donate 5,000 coats.
