The Ocean City Board of Realtors is pleased to announce its fall community service project, a drive to collect coats, sweaters, blankets, snow boots, hats and scarves, will be extended to collect during the Ocean City Christmas Parade on Friday, Dec. 5.
Donations will be collected now through Dec. 5, and will be used to give the gift of warmth for winter.
Unique to the Ocean City Christmas Parade is Mr. Happy, the Board of Realtors’ mascot, who will be barking his thank you for your donations. Children are encouraged to come to the parade and say hello to Mr. Happy.
The Warmth for the Winter Drive will collect gently used or new items to be donated to the Ocean City Ecumenical Council Clothes Closet to provide for needy families. Of special need for this winter are children’s coats, children’s snow boots, and men’s sweatpants and pajamas. Monetary donations will be accepted — we will shop for you. Funds will be used to purchase items of need as requested by the Ecumenical Clothes Closet.
Donations can be dropped off at the office of the Ocean City Board of Realtors, 405 22nd Street, or for pickup please call the office at 609-399-0128.
“It’s time to clean out those closets, and we encourage our fellow Realtors, friends and neighbors to donate items that are gently used or new, especially coats, that will provide warmth for the winter to families in need” said Gloria Votta, Chair Community Services Committee, Ocean City Board of Realtors.
