Community encouraged to ‘Share the Warmth’
Employees of a local real estate office are once again collecting coats and blankets so that they can “Share the Warmth” with children and teenagers in need this holiday season.
Through Friday, Dec. 17, new or gently used coats and winter clothing can be dropped off at the Windermere/Crest Realty Co., offices located at 401 N.E. Third Ave., weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sundays, from noon to 4 p.m.
The coats and blankets will be distributed through the Inter-Faith Treasure House, which serves citizens in need in Camas and Washougal.
The “Share the Warmth,” donation drive is held annually by many Windermere offices throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.
