While on calls, I was constantly disheartened by seeing not only\u00a0patients, but their family members, and even bystanders without seasonally appropriate clothing. It constantly left me wondering how I could help. Earlier this year while going through winter clothes, I realized I had more than I needed for my family and decided to\u00a0donate what I could.\u00a0With the help of Patrick Gleason,\u00a0 Ambulance Service of Manchester employees\u00a0 have begun collecting new and gently used jackets, hats, gloves, and scarves. Donating an old winter jacket could be a small gesture from us, however, this could make a world of a difference to someone in our community. Please help us \u201cGive the Gift of Warmth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester- In early December, Ambulance Service of Manchester employee, Laura McHugh, motivated by\u00a0her experience\u00a0as a road crew EMT, took it upon herself to set fourth an annual coat drive to benefit MACC and HVCC local charities.
