TOP Food & Drug stores in Western Washington are collecting donations for the 13th-annual Warm Coats for Kids campaign, which starts Monday, Jan. 5.

The campaign is seeking new or gently worn coats, hats, scarves and mittens. Donations at TOP Food stores will be distributed to women’s and children’s centers in Puget Sound by Northwest Center (http://nwcenter.org/).

The TOP store in Bellevue at 15751 N.E. 15th St., is one of the drop-off locations.
