9th Annual Blanket Drive by Wasco County Medical Reserve Corps on Jan. 15
Give the gift of warmth…
The Wasco County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is hosting its 9th Annual Blanket Drive Saturday, Jan. 15, at the former Chronicle building at Third and Federal in downtown The Dalles, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
All items collected will be donated to The Warming Place in The Dalles, which distributes them to those in need. Donors can simply pull up to the curb to drop off their items, and volunteers will be outside the building to collect them. Look for the MRC signs!
In addition to warm blankets and socks, the Warming Place is also looking for sleeping bags, tarps, tents, warm coats, hats, gloves and travel-size soap and shampoo.
We ask that all items be new or gently used (and washed) and in good condition.
All donors are asked to wear a mask and minimize contact when dropping off donations. To minimize the number of contacts at the drop-off site, please consider collecting donated items from your family and friends and having one person make the drop-off.
For drop-offs, please pull up to the curb on E. 3rd St., just before the intersection with Federal Street in downtown The Dalles. The site is across the street from Columbia Bank. This is a one-day only event!
