Volunteers to collect donations for Serve Moses Lake

MOSES LAKE — Volunteers from a group of local churches will collect money, warm clothes and other items Saturday, which will be donated to Serve Moses Lake to help shelterless people during the winter.

Volunteers, many of them young people, will be at nearly every corner of the parking lot at the entrance of Walmart on Stratford Road from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., said Angie Stevenson of Journey Moses Lake Church.

Coats, gloves, socks, scarves, caps, winter boots, tents, tarps, blankets and sleeping bags, foot and hand warmers, and electric space heaters of 1,500 watts or larger can be donated. Stevenson said all donations should be new or, if used, in good condition.

Cash and checks also will be accepted. Checks should be made out to Serve Moses Lake, with “winter relief” in the memo line. Monetary donations will go to the most urgent needs.
