Wasco County MRC Blanket Drive Underway

The Wasco County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) has launched its annual blanket drive, with three convenient drop-off locations, and will continue collecting blankets through February.

Help those in need stay warm this winter by donating warm blankets and adult-sized socks to benefit St. Vincent de Paul. All items must be new, or gently used and washed and in good condition.

The three drop-off locations, all in The Dalles, are:

  • North Central Public Health District, 419 E. 7th St., in The Dalles. Hours 8:30 a.m. to noon, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

  • La Michoacana, at 1210 Kelly Ave. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.

  • Grocery Outlet, 1300 W. 6th St. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.

NCPHD conducts the blanket drive on behalf of the MRC, and appreciates the ongoing generosity of the community. The MRC has held a blanket drive for nine years, and last year switched up that tradition to do a coat drive.

If you have any questions, or are interested in becoming an MRC volunteer, please reach out to Gloria Alvarez at gloriaa@ncphd.org or at 541-506-2699.
