Your new or gently used winter gear could come in good use for those in need in the community. Destination Door County kicked off its annual “Door County Bundle Up” winter gear drive” earlier this week. Locations throughout the county in Sturgeon Bay, Egg Harbor, Sister Bay, Fish Creek, Ephraim, Ellison Bay, and Baileys Harbor will collect the winter gear before distributing it to Door County residents through local charity partners. The DDC has helped collect 800 to 1,000 winter gear items in recent years, including over 1,300 during the 2016-2017 drive. The winter gear drive is part of a more significant effort organized by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism. You have until January 9th to donate the winter gear. You can find a list of the locations accepting donations below.
