CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The annual “Warm for the Winter” clothing drive for those in need is once again under way.
Warm for the Winter will distribute warm winter clothing once again at the Rotary Club of Clearlake's annual Christmas community dinner from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, in the multipurpose room at Burns Valley School, 3620 Pine St. in Clearlake.
Warm for the Winter is celebrating its 10th year of giving warm clothing to the community.
Started a decade ago by Joyce Overton, the program takes no monetary donations but relies on donations of blankets, gloves, shoes, hats and any clothing, either new or used but in good repair.
Overton thanked the community for its donations and support over the past 10 years, and said the program needs help this year more than ever, as due to the county's wildland fires last year and this year, more community members are in need.
In great demand this year are baby and youth jackets.
Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:
• The Meals on Wheels Thrift Store, 14773 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday.
• Highlands Senior Center, 3245 Bowers Road, Clearlake, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
For more information call Overton at 707-350-2898.
