Everett: Special drive for Christmas House

Help local kids have a good Christmas by donating new socks and underwear for children from now until the end of November. The Goldwing Touring Association, Chapter C, is sponsoring the special clothing drive. This organization served more than 9,500 children last holiday by providing new clothes and toys. This drive focuses just on those staples all kids need: socks and underwear in all sizes in the original packaging. Drop off items at Everett Powersports, 215 SW Everett Mall Way.
