As frost gathers on the pumpkins, Sutton is gearing up for its eighth annual Warm & Fuzzy Shelter Collection.
Realtors and staff will be collecting warm outerwear on Tuesday, Nov. 5 in the Sutton parking lot (2749 30th St.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
鈥淚t鈥檚 everything: its blankets and boots and clothes and toques,鈥� said Tara Sopel, event organizer.
鈥淭his warm weather outerwear is utilized by Gateway Shelter, Howard House, Woman鈥檚 Transition House and spread throughout the community to meet the need of keeping our citizens warm and secure.鈥�
The collection is even drive-through.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 even have to leave your car; we鈥檒l grab your donations and load them into a waiting van.鈥�
Residents are urged to check their closets for adult and children鈥檚 winter clothing, footwear, hats, gloves, blankets and towels. This year, the team will also accept cash donations to take along with the clothing and make sure you receive a tax receipt for any amount over $20.
Those who can鈥檛 make it to the event can drop off donations from now until Nov. 8 during business hours at Sutton鈥檚 office (across from Journey Inn). Our phone number is 250-549-3944 if you have any questions.
鈥淧lease comb through your closets and help Sutton help our great community!鈥�
