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.

What Is the DECA Club at Wareham High School?

Wareham DECA is an organization aimed at helping prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs interested in business careers to help boost their knowledge in the world of business.
