Now through December 17 , community members can bring new or gently used and laundered coats (for children and adults) and blankets to any of the following Windermere offices in Central Oregon. Donated items will be distributed to those in need by Family Access Network; Central Oregon Veterans Outreach; Bethlehem Inn and Crook County Children and Family Services.

Windermere Real Estate has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the community. In addition to hosting the annual “Share the Warmth” donation drive, the company’s agents participate in annual community service projects and donate a portion of every commission to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps homeless and low-income families in the communities served by Windermere.
