Woodinville Police Collecting Clothes For The Homeless
Drop off men's clothing in the lobby of the police department this week.
WOODINVILLE, WA - Woodinville police will be collecting clothes for homeless men through the end of this week. The clothes drive was inspired by a recent interaction Woodinville police had while helping Snoqualmie police.
There will be a large box set up in the lobby of the Woodinville police department, 17301 133rd Ave. Northeast, until Friday. Police are asking for men's clothing, especially socks. Police will use the clothes to help homeless people out during the winter months.
Recently, a Woodinville deputy responded to help Snoqualmie police with a person in crisis. The person was waiting for the Snoqualmie Valley Shelter Services building to open, and was under dressed for temperatures in the low 40s.
