Cleaning out your closet might lead you to find “someone else’s treasure”.
The Thompson CMHA is encouraging residents to look through their old clothes and donate any winter wear to them.
They’ve brought back their Coats for Kids campaign for another year. Education and Training Program Coordinator Katherine Pohjolainen says they’re collecting coats for both kids and adults. In addition they’re also collecting winter accessories like hats, mitts, and socks.
Pohjolainen says they’ll be giving them out for free, to those who need it, throughout the winter.
