Everest College coat drive is a big success

Everest College exceeded its expectations in collecting warm coats and other cold-weather items during its recent clothing drive.

The Bremerton college received nearly 700 items during its second annual Winter Warm Clothing Drive. In partnership with One Warm Coat, a national non-profit organization that encourages coat drives, the goal of 500 items collected was exceeded.

Items such as gloves, boots, gloves, blankets and clothes will be donated to The Coffee Oasis, a local non-profit that works with at-risk and homeless youth. Contributions were also made to The Bremerton Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul church.
