It’s cold outside, but 100 children are warmer now with a new coat thanks to lineworkers and staff with Dominion Energy.

Crews in the company’s Outer Banks and Elizabeth City local offices recently collected more than 100 new coats to be distributed to school age children in Dare County and Gates County.
