Gallery: Auburn salon owner helps those in need to stay warm during the winter
Coco & Company Salon owner Courtney Conley started a winter clothing giveaway last year when she wanted to get rid of extra coats she had accumulated. The response was so overwhelming that she started getting donations from her customers. But the demand has grown, too, so she is looking for more donations of gently used coats, scarfs, gloves and boots. Conley said it's a good feeling when people stop in her Genesee Street shop to say "thank you."
