Agents with Milford-based Pearce Real Estate say they collected over 200 coats and 80 pairs of gloves or mittens, along with ski pants, scarves and hats in their holiday coat drive.

Pearce Real Estate partnered with Best Cleaners to extend their coat drive. Five of the Pearce offices operated as drop off locations which included the Corporate office in North Haven, and the Wallingford, New Haven, Guilford, and Milford office locations. Each office was “overflowing” with coats by the end of the drive, the company said.

“The Pearce Company is thrilled that we were able to provide a necessity to the community in this holiday season. It was a huge success!” Pearce President Nanette Pastore said in a statement.

The winter apparel will be distributed to locals in need.
