A number of different agencies in the Gorge have teamed up for a winter coat drive that will continue to the end of December. Washington Gorge Action Programs, Mid-Columbia Community Action Council, Columbia Gorge Education Service District, and The Next Door are seeking to gather new and like-new coats for all ages. Donations can be dropped at a number of different Gorge locations, including Washington Federal Bank, The Next Door, Columbia Gorge ESD, The Coffee Shop, and Mid-Columbia Community Action in The Dalles. In Hood River, coats will be accepted at Insitu in the Waucoma Center, The Next Door, and Washington Federal Bank. In Bingen donate at Insitu and Washington Gorge Action Programs, while in White Salmon take coats to Whitson Elementary School and Harvest Market.
