The Wasco County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) has launched its annual blanket/coat drive, with three
convenient drop-off locations, and will continue collecting items through February.
Help those in need stay warm this winter by donating warm blankets, adult-sized coats, and socks to benefit St. Vincent de Paul and other local agencies. All items must be new, or gently used, washed and in good condition.
The three drop-off locations in The Dalles are:
- North Central Public Health District (NCPHD)
419 E. 7th St. Hours 8:30 a.m. to noon, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. - La Michoacana, 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
Wasco Co. MRC, a volunteer program of NCPHD, has held an annual blanket drive for the last ten years.
The ongoing generosity of the community is appreciated!
