'Warm for the Winter' effort continues for third year

CLEARLAKE – With freezing temperatures now here, a community effort to help provide warm clothes and shelter for the homeless is kicking off its third annual campaign.


The Warm for the Winter program, led by Clearlake Vice Mayor Joyce Overton, is once again gathering warm clothes, food, blankets, tents and monetary donations.


Overton said that they will hand out the items at the Clearlake Rotary Christmas dinner at Burns Valley School on Saturday, Dec. 11.


She said that she is particularly looking for children's coats, as she has plenty for adults.


Overton said coats do not have to be new, but must be clean and in good shape.


She's also having a food drive, as food banks this year are short.


If someone cannot come to the giveaway, they can call Overton to arrange a dropoff.


For more information, call Overton at 707-350-2898.
