COVO – Operation Warm, Fed And Dry

Central Oregon – Winter 2016 is fast approaching, and this year Central Oregon Veterans Outreach (COVO) is highlighting OPERATION: WARM, FED, and DRY.

As COVO gears up for their winter community outreach, they’re in need of those items that keep folks alive during the coldest months of the year.

COVO is looking for help from the community with 1lb cans of propane, winter weight clothing and coats of all sizes (men’s, women’s, and children’s), tents, tarps, sleeping bags, and high protein canned food (canned meats, chili, etc.)

Donations of these and any other items, are received Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 4:00pm at the COVO main office, at 61510 S. Hwy 97, Suite 100, Bend, OR. (across the street from Fred Meyer in Bend).
