You can drop off of a coat to Dumfries to help refugees from Syria and Iraq.
Here’s more in a press release from Dumfries Mayor Jerry Foreman:
Northern Virginia elected officials, religious groups and aid organizations have partnered for a blanket and coat drive aimed at assisting Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Turkey.
Coordinated through the Northern Virginia Regional Commission, the drive accepts new or lightly-used blankets & coats as well as monetary donations that can be dropped off at Dumfries Town Hall until December 4.
Stop by Dumfries Town Hall and drop off your blanket(s). Staff will put it in the Mayor’s office. Last year we collected over 200 blankets.
Turkey is home to more than four million refugees who have fled from Syria and Iraq to escape war and violence caused by ISIL.
