Now for winter. Jacket prices rose 24% last year, according to AlixPartners, and local groups are collecting coats for neighbors. United Way's Project Warmth aims to collect 2,000 new coats for more than 650 families. District 9 Councilwoman Misty Spears wants 700 new and gently used coats for three nonprofits.

No coat to spare? The San Antonio Public Library's Wall of Warmth, which began at the Potranco branch, is "take what you need, leave what you can." It accepts clean coats, gloves, hats and scarves.
