Volunteer Lisa Drevlow helped Valentina Zaragoza pick out a winter coat for her napping daughter Liliana, 2, during the annual Coats for Kids giveaway at the Salvation Army on Lyndale Avenue in north Minneapolis. More than 8,000 coats were available during Tuesday's one-day boutique at 10 metro-area Salvation Army locations, and donations of more coats and accessories will be accepted through today. The Coats for Kids program provides coats and warm accessories on a first-come, first-served basis to children ages 0-17.
