The Winter Clothing Drive aims to collect warm clothing items, including jackets, coats, sweaters, hoodies, gloves, hats, scarves, and socks. New or gently used items in all sizes will be accepted. Donations can be dropped off at designated collection points including the Morongo Basin Station and participating Morongo Unified School District locations. The collected clothing will be distributed to students who may lack the necessary attire to stay warm during the colder months.
School Resource Officer Deputy Coakley said, “This is a chance for our community to come together and ensure that no student in the Morongo Basin has to face the cold without proper clothing. We are committed to supporting our students and families, and we’re grateful for the generosity of our community members.”
The drive began last Friday and will go until Dec. 19. For more information and for a full list of drop-off locations, visit www.morongousd.org.
