‘Share the Warmth’ coat, blanket drive underway
In partnership with non-profit organizations in their communities, three Windermere Real Estate offices in Central Oregon are hosting Windermere’s annual “Share the Warmth” coat and blanket drive. Now through December 20, community members can help their neighbors in need by donating coats, blankets and other warm items.
Community members can bring new or gently used and laundered coats (for children and adults) and blankets to any of the following Windermere offices and Central Oregon businesses. In addition, the offices in Bend and Redmond are collecting other warm items, such as sleeping bags, scarves, gloves/mittens, hats and socks.
Donated items will be distributed to those in need by Family Access Network in Bend and Redmond, The Shepherd’s House in Bend, and Crook County Children and Senior Services. Donation drop-off sites include:
