The Community Assistance Program (CAP) will start accepting coats Thursday, September 1 for its month-long winter coat drive.
Community members are invited to donate gently-used or new coats, gloves, hats and socks for women, men and children. Used items should be washed, according to a CAP press release. XXL and XXXL size clothing for women, men and toddlers are in high demand.
Donations can be dropped off at Blaine Library, Blaine Senior Center, Pacific Building Center, Birch Bay Village’s rec center, Cost Cutter, The Market at Birch Bay, the Windermere office in Birch Bay Square and Semiahmoo Marina Café. Many churches will also be accepting donations and CAP will update its website as more collection sites are added.
CAP will distribute coats in mid-October upstairs at the CAP Center, 508 G Street. The distribution will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, October 10 and Friday, October 14, 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, October 12 and from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, October 15. No appointment necessary.
The nonprofit needs volunteers to organize and distribute coats.
