UWNO Collecting Hats, Coats, Scarves & Gloves

Port Washington, WI: Every September the United Way of Northern Ozaukee (UWNO) and its Board has participated in the Annual Week of Caring.  Traditionally the board works with their partnering agencies to determine a need and to extend a solution or a helping hand.  After reviewing multiple worthy causes, this year's Week of Caring project will be to help the Volunteer Center collect new or gently used coats, hats, scarves and mittens. 

As the temperatures begin to slowly drop and the reality of winter is right around the corner, the UWNO is asking your help to ensure our friends and neighbors in our community will stay warm.

The UWNO has teamed up with local business partners to make it easier for local residence to donate.  

Collection boxes are set up at the following local businesses:
