Donations for Warming Tree Accepted Now
PrintWe will continue our holiday tradition of collecting warm hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets to donate to members of our community once again this year.
“It has been an enormous success the last five years. We anticipate a great need in our community again this year,” said Customer Accounts and Billing Manager Kristen Dean. “We hope we can increase the number of items we collect this year.”
Last year, we collected 1,055 warming items for the Amani Center and Community Action Team to distribute among members of our community.
We are currently accepting donations for this year’s Warming Tree. PUD employees, Board Members, and customers are invited to donate items.
“We are excited for the chance to play a small part in helping our neighbors in the community stay warm and cozy this winter. Anyone who wants to help out is welcome to drop off new or gently used items,” Dean said. Items will be collected at the PUD’s office in Deer Island during regular business hours.
All items will be donated to Community Action Team to be distributed to families in Columbia County. We ask that donations be turned in by December 7, so we are able to deliver them in time for Christmas. Items may be handmade or store-bought.
