GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Molina Healthcare of Michigan is hosting the 'HOPE Winter Coat Giveaway' happening Saturday, November 3 in Grand Rapids. Thousands of brand new coats and other winter necessities will be given away to people in need. Attendees of all ages and sizes will have an opportunity to receive a coat while enjoying refreshments, entertainment and festive family fun. Guests must be present to receive a coat.

The Molina HOPE Coat Drive garnered thousands of new coats through the generosity of various partnering businesses and the public.

Molina employee volunteers and volunteers from local organizations will distribute the coats to pre-registered attendees and the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the high volume of online pre-registrations, coats available for general distribution may be limited. The event is free, open to the public and media.

• Free scarves, hats and gloves distributed by Magna International

• Refreshments and snacks
