The Dalles, Ore. Nov. 20, 2024 — The Wasco County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) has launched its annual blanket/coat drive, with three convenient drop-off locations. It 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.
