14th Annual Warm & Fuzzy Drive | Winter Boutique
Every October, Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference partners with local elementary schools, businesses, and organizations to collect new and gently used clothing to help less fortunate families in our community stay warm throughout the winter.
The donated clothes are then sorted, washed, and displayed for the Hands4Hope’s Winter Boutique events, where local families in need and foster families are invited to shop for free! The Boutique is open for holiday "shopping" during the month of December.
