Shepherd’s House Ministries seeks community support at its annual Winter Coat Drive on Saturday

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- As temperatures drop, many in Central Oregon are at risk of life-threatening conditions without proper winter clothing. A warm coat can be the difference between safety and hypothermia, providing critical protection against the elements.

Shepherd's House Ministries invites the community to participate in its Annual Winter Coat Drive on Saturday, October 26th, from 10 AM to 2 PM. The drive is collecting coats, jackets, beanies, gloves, boots, socks, and hand warmers, which will be redistributed to those in need.

Donated items will be distributed through Project SHARE, Shepherd's House's Mobile Outreach van, which provides essential supplies and services to people experiencing homelessness across Central Oregon.

Drop-off Locations:

• Bend: 1854 NE Division Street
• Redmond: 1350 S Hwy. 97

Every donation can make a life-saving impact for someone facing the harsh winter. By contributing, you help keep vulnerable individuals and families warm and safe this season.
