United Way of Nevada Countyโ€™s Project Warmth collection drive is underway, helping provide warm winter clothing to local individuals and families in need throughout Nevada County.

Text describes collecting new or gently used winter coats, hats, gloves, and scarves for redistribution to neighbors in need, with illustrations of winter clothing items and sponsor logos for Do HVAC and Dignity Health

Community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used warm coats, hats, gloves, and socks to help our neighbors stay warm during the colder months ahead. Many of those served through Project Warmth are local families with children who are struggling to make ends meet, and every donated coat helps make winter a little easier.
