For the fifth year, the Olyphant Police Department held a coat giveaway, organized by police Sgt. Lewis Kline. The department worked with the Dickson City Civic Center and the Throop Civic Center to identify those in need of winter coats.

Olyphant Hose Company 2 and Ladder 26 assisted in packing the gifts and delivering them. The Christmas bags, containing coats, hats, gloves and other winter clothing items, were placed outside the Manor on Main in Dickson City. Multiple businesses and individuals, including Valley Truck Center and NEPA Towing and Recovery, donated to the cause.
