This September, the Jackson County Windermere Real Estate offices will spend a month making sure local children are kept warm. Starting Sept. 16, the public will be able to make donations of new or gently-used child-sized coats to multiple drop-off locations. Windermere brokers, staff, and owners will pick up the donations from the drop-off sites, take them to the cleaners, and then deliver them to schools every Friday for one month (through Oct. 24).
WHEN: Sept. 16 – Oct. 24, 2019

WHY: “As summer turns to fall, this is a great opportunity for our community to join forces and ensure that vulnerable children have the coats they need to stay warm in the coming months,” said John Zupan, principal broker at Windermere Van Vleet & Associates. “We’ve pitched in on this drive for over two decades, and every year we’re in awe of how Jackson County steps up to support its children.”
Led by local ABC affiliate, KDRV, Windermere has participated in Newswatch 12 Coats for Kids, an annual charitable campaign, since the mid-’90s. In past years, donations have reached the thousands, keeping southern Oregon children warm throughout the fall and winter months.
