CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The eighth annual “Warm for the Winter” winter clothing and blanket drive is under way.
The effort, headed by Clearlake City Councilwoman Joyce Overton, is seeking donations of coats and clothing for adults and youth, and bedding.
Specific items they're collecting include blankets, pillows, cots, tents and tarps, as well as hats, gloves, socks and clothing of all sizes – from infants to adults.
Overton said they especially need coats for children and infant clothing, items they're usually short of when it comes time for distribution.
Warm for the Winter this year is helping with a warming center, for which the blankets, pillows and cots are needed, Overton said.
The clothing, bedding and cots will be distributed once again at the Clearlake Rotary community Christmas dinner, which will take place on Saturday, Dec. 13, Overton said.
For more information or to arrange donation drop offs or pickups, call Overton at 707-350-2898.
