Vancouver – The Vancouver Fire Department and the Vancouver Firefighters Union are kicking off their annual winter coat drive today.

Between now and Dec. 16, firefighters are collecting coats to distribute to youth and teens, though they said that all sizes of coats are welcomed. They are also asking for donations of unopened hygiene products such as shampoo, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

The effort is a partnership with 45th Columbia River Scouts, America’s Self Storage and The Source Climbing Gym.

Donations can be made at Vancouver Fire Station 2, 400 E 27th St., American Self Storage, 108 NW 139th St., or The Source Climbing Gym, 1118 Main St.
