Furniture Outlet provides great donation for Operation Overcoat
Furniture Outlet has been a great partner in helping Union Gospel Mission collect items for Operation Overcoat. Furniture Outlet co-owner Trudy Palo was kind enough to drop off two truckloads!!
Even though the big Operation Overcoat event is less than 48 hours away, there is still time to make a donation. Blankets, undergarments and hygiene items are still urgently needed. You can make a secure online donation at www.ugmportland.org or call 503-274-4483
