The collected clothing will be distributed to students who may lack the necessary attire to stay warm during the colder months.
“This is a chance for our community to come together and ensure that no student in the Morongo Basin has to face the cold without proper clothing,” said School Resource Officer Deputy Coakley. “We are committed to supporting our students and families, and we’re grateful for the generosity of our community members.”
The drive will go from Nov. 22 to Dec. 19.
