Washington Gorge Action Programs says it received $35,000 in early annual fundraising donations this month from two local banks to jump-start its end-of-year fundraising campaign.  1st Security Bank donated $7,500 each to the Bingen and Goldendale Food Banks for a total of $15,000, and First Interstate Bank presented $20,000 to WAGAP’s main office in Bingen to support its discretionary fund.  WAGAP has a goal of raising $100,000 in local contributions through the end of January.  The nonprofit serves low-income individuals and families in Skamania and Klickitat counties with various programs, including food, shelter, housing, energy assistance, care coordination, and more.  The organization’s giving campaign season will officially kick off during Thanksgiving week.  In addition to financial contributions, Coats for Kids is underway through December for new and like-new coats to be donated for children on both sides of the Columbia River and is arranged in collaboration with area partners including Insitu, The Next Door, Inc., and Mid-Columbia Community Action Council.
