Rep. Snyder to host winter clothing drive at offices
Starting Monday, state Rep. Pam Snyder will collect winter clothes to help area families.
Donations will be collected at each of her three constituent offices through Dec. 6.
“This is the fifth year we’ve collected winter gear for local residents, and the response has been tremendous,” said Snyder, D-Jefferson. “Residents have opened their hearts and closets to meet the need locally for cold-weather gear such as coats, jackets, gloves, mittens, scarves, hats and boots.”
Winter clothing can be donated during the following times and locations:
- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at the Carmichaels office, 104 S. Market St.
- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at the Waynesburg office, 93 E. High St.
- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays at the Brownsville office, 113 Thornton Road, Redstone Township
All new and gently used items collected will be distributed through Waynesburg Salvation Army, Masontown Helping Hands Ministry and Crosskeys Human Services of Brownsville.
“Hundreds of families throughout Greene, Fayette and Washington counties have benefited from the donations since we began the drive in 2013,” Snyder said. “The donations create warmth and joy not only among recipients but within the donors, too.”
