NAMI Washington County and Payless
Drug Present: Project WinterCare
Winter in Oregon can be one of the most difficult times of year. Wet weather, cold winds and even snow can make taking care of oneself extremely difficult.
To help others stay healthy this winter Payless Drug is going to be distributing toiletry bags to those in need in the Portland Metro area.
NAMI Washington County along with many other organizations are pitching in to do our part by gathering warm hats and scarves to go in the bags as well.
Help those in need by donating a new or gently used scarf or hat or hygiene items today!
