15th 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 clothing is sorted, washed as needed, and displayed for the Hands4Hope’s Winter Boutique events, where local families in need and foster families are invited to shop for free! The 2024 Boutique is open for holiday "shopping" on December 6, 7, 8, 13 and 14.
​
Sign up to help with sorting events!
All ages are needed. Youth in elementary school must have an adult volunteering alongside them.
