Bend Fire and Rescue Annual Coat Drive is underway through November 17th. This year’s focus is the need for children’s coats due to the increased demand within our community.
Last year’s coat drive brought to light the overwhelming need that children are experiencing during the cold weather season. This year, as you transition to warmer clothing, consider decluttering those bulky winter coats your children no longer wear, and help the community keep underprivileged children warm as the temps continue to decline.
Bend Fire & Rescue are accepting new or slightly used jackets, hats, and gloves. If you are donating a slightly used item, please make sure it is recently washed.
Large blue bins will be outside the front door at all six of our Fire Stations, including our Westside Admin Building.
For contactless drop-off, donations can be dropped off at your nearest Bend Fire Station and placed inside the labeled bin outside anytime between Friday, October 27th, and November 17th.
