Cache Valley Humanitarian Center to host coat, quilt drive

The Cache Humanitarian Center will be collecting coats, blankets and other warm winter clothing for families in need. Donations can be dropped off at Mt. Logan Middle School Nov. 18, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. or Nov. 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Humanitarian Center is made up of volunteers who reach out to other nonprofit organizations in the county to understand current community needs and form projects to address them. When members of the board asked what was needed, the response was overwhelming.

 

“The things they needed right now to help the families and clients they’re working with were warm winter clothing items such as coats and hats and gloves and things like that,” said Dwight Whittaker, president of the Cache Valley humanitarian board. “A lot of their families didn’t have the things they would need here in Northern Utah.” Read the rest of the story on HJnews.com.
