Deer Island, OR – December 16, 2021 – Thanks to generous donations from our customers, staff, and Board Members, we were able to collect 1,260 warming items this year.

These hats, gloves, scarves, blankets, coats, and other warming items were donated to Community Action Team to distribute to members of our community.

This is the fourth year we have had the Warming Tree. We eclipsed our previous record total by nearly 400 items. Thank you for all your generous donations and support to help members of our community in need this holiday season!
