Sunshine Division Coat Drive

The Portland Police Bureau’s Sunshine Division will be on hand to collect coats which will be supplied to people in need in Portland. So go through your closets and find those coats you no longer wear and bring them to the rooftop — you’ll create more space in your closet and feel good about helping people in need. We are holding drawings for “Coat Prizes” to anyone that brings a coat for the Sunshine Division. Grand Coat Prize is two nice jackets from Columbia Sportswear (a men’s and a women’s) and a pass to the employee store. Four other drawings for passes to the employee store will take place for folks that donate a coat.
