Fortunately, that’s when local businesses like Lapels Cleaners of Marshfield, Massachusetts, and nonprofits like Marshfield Boys & Girls Club, stepped up. “We typically donate coats and other winter accessories to local charities,” says Jay Stenson, Country Ski & Sport’s director of marketing and the third generation to work in business. “As a Marshfield resident, I knew of the good work done by the Boys & Girls Club and started there. They took 100 coats and it snowballed from there,” says Wilkinson, who also owns Lapels Cleaners of Hanover, Lapels Cleaners of Cohasset and Lapels Cleaners of Kingston. “We’re enjoying a mild fall now, but we know how cold New England weather can get,” said Jim Bunnell, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield.
