Annual collection provides winter necessities for Vancouver community members
VANCOUVER — As temperatures drop, Windermere Real Estate brokers are once again coming together to help keep their neighbors warm by providing essential winter items for those in need. As part of the annual Share the Warmth campaign, the Windermere office in Vancouver will be collecting donations from Monday, November 3, through Friday, December 19, to benefit Share House. This year, the organization is asking for new or gently used blankets, jackets and coats in all sizes.
Those who wish to contribute can stop by participating Windermere offices to drop off donations. The Windermere office in Vancouver, located at 1401 SE 164th Ave. Suite 190, is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Here is a full list of all drop-off locations.
“For those experiencing difficult circumstances, cold winter weather can create even more challenges,” said Christine Wood, executive director of the Windermere Foundation. “That’s why efforts like Share the Warmth are so meaningful. Coming together to provide coats and blankets, or even something as simple as a warm hat or pair of gloves, can make a real difference for our neighbors in need.”
