Donate clothing for those in need

The Orcas community includes some families each year that need help providing items such as hats, scarves, gloves or mittens to keep children warm during the winter.

The 2015 Caps for Kids program invites you to create and donate new warm winter wear. They will be collecting donations of these items at the library during the month of October.

“Thank you for doing what you can to keep our community families warm and comfortable,” say organizers.

Any questions about this program can be directed to Anna Vedder at 376-3095.
