October 4, 2023, JACKSONVILLE, Ore. — Now through Sunday, Oct. 29, Windermere Real Estate in Jacksonville will help keep children warm this winter by collecting donations of winter necessities. Each Friday, Windermere real estate brokers will deliver donations to schools after taking them to the cleaners.

The public can help by bringing new or gently used child-sized coats to any of the Southern Oregon Windermere locations listed below. Or they can donate $25 or more to the cause here.

  •     Ashland: 375 Lithia Way #1901
  •     Medford: 1117 E Jackson St.
  •     Jacksonville: 505 N 5th St.

Coat donations will be accepted on weekdays, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. If these times are not convenient, additional drop-off locations are available. The public can ask their Windermere broker for more details.

“As temperatures drop, we’re reminded of how important staying warm is, something often taken for granted. For decades we have collectively helped countless children in our communities through this program,” said Devin Zupan, principal broker, Windermere Van Vleet & Associates. “Our community’s generosity has always been a source of inspiration, and I have no doubt that this year will be no exception. Together, we can truly make a difference.”

Windermere has participated in the Newswatch 12 Coats for Kids annual charitable campaign, which is led by local ABC affiliate KDRV, since the mid-‘90s.
