Event Description

Because many foster kids arrive with only the clothes on their backs, Sleep Country USA is collecting winter coats to help keep the more than 26,000 foster kids in Oregon and Washington warm this winter. Our drive helps give foster children a leg up and keep them warm during the blustery winter months.

New coats in every shape and size can be donated to any Sleep Country USA store and will be distributed among 20 Pacific Northwest foster care organizations. For more information on the location of the nearest store, please use the Sleep Country store locater at www.sleepcountry.com or call 1-888-88-SLEEP.
