MVHS Patient Winter Weather Donation Drive

Throughout the month of December we will be collecting winter weather wear to help keep our community warm.

If nothing else, the past few weeks of winter storms have shown just how necessary proper winter clothing is.

Without adequate winter wear we are exposed to many threats which can include:

• Hypothermia
• Pneumonia
• Cold and flu.

To help combat this issue we are running a Winter Weather Donation Drive until Saturday, January 4, 2020. Items will be donated to both our patients as well as members of our community!

Who can participate?

Anyone and everyone can participate in this awesome cause. We welcome outside organizations and MVHS employees  to join in. You are welcome to pass this along to family and friends as well. The more the merrier!

What type of items can I donate?

We will accept any new with tags or gently used and washed items. You might consider donating items such as coats, snow pants, snow suits, hats, head bands, ear warmers, gloves, mittens, boots, socks, scarves, cowls and more.
