Executive Director Louise Reed says they have drop-off boxes set up at around 20 locations in the Western County. That includes at the radio station. She says coats tend to be the most popular donation from the public…
Socks are also items of need. Reed says donations were down a little last year but she still expects around 12-hundred to 13-hundred items…
Donations will be collected through December 15th. You can find a location nearest you through the local United Way website.
