CALCASIEU PARISH, LA (KPLC) - Last week, on Dec. 15, we told you about a coat drive by the Lake Charles Care Center and Harbor Hospice of Lake Charles aimed at keeping every senior citizen in Calcasieu Parish warm.

That coat drive has now ended but thanks to southwest Louisiana almost 500 coats were collected.

Benefiting residents at four nursing homes across the area as well as Abraham's Tent in Lake Charles which received close to 200 coats and jackets.
