Help Wareham DECA Collect Winter Attire For Families In Need
As winter quickly approaches on the SouthCoast, some families will be sorely lacking when it comes to warm clothes. Wareham High School’s DECA club aims to make a difference, particularly with victims of domestic violence, by collecting winter attire to be donated to the Women’s Shelter in New Bedford.
From now until December 20th, this dedicated club will encourage the community to donate new and gently used winter gear, a gesture that could potentially save a person’s life this winter.
Here's how to help.
