Winter wear drive

Ashley O’Brion and her husband wanted a community project that could include her three children. She reached out to the Catholic Charities of Maine Refugee and Immigration Services and asked what they need the most. Kids’ coats and other winter gear were at the top of their list. So, Ashley and her kids are trying to fill that need. New or used coats, mittens, hats and other cold-weather gear in good condition can be dropped off at Little Log Cabin Montessori, 120 Tandberg Trail, Windham; Raymond Village Library; and CenterStage Performing Arts, 1233 Roosevelt Trail, Raymond. Ashley hopes this will become a yearly drive.
