Donated clothing can be turned in at the North-end QFC from 1 until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22. Door-to-door collections will be picked up the same day as directed on the door flyers. There will also be collection barrels at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

The Mission especially needs winter jackets, long pants, warm shirts, ponchos, large-sized men’s underwear, socks, shoes and blankets. For information, call (206) 920-0439.
