As the winter chill settled in, the Neil Huffman Auto Group embarked on our annual journey to make a difference in the lives of those in need. Teaming up with One Warm Coat, the Winter Coat Drive became a beacon of generosity, with over 350 coats donated to local organizations between November 27, 2023, to January 2, 2024. Among this year’s One Warm Coat recipients were Catholic Charities of Louisville and the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative.
