Food drive — Wasco County Sheriff’s office organized a food drive. It’s open until mid-December with a drop-off location at Maupin Market. Deputies have also been showing up at events where people can drop off food donations and nab “Wasco County Strong” car stickers. Events posted on www.facebook.com/WascoCountySheriff.
Washington Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP) — The end-of-year giving campaign for WAGAP started in November, with First Security Bank for kicking it off with an $8,000 donation to the Food Bank Network in Goldendale. WAGAP hopes to raise $125,000 this year to help cover budget gaps. Donations can be accepted in person at local WAGAP offices, Monday through Thursday, during regular business hours, at the following locations: Bingen, 115 W. Steuben St.; Stevenson, 683 SW Rock Creek Drive; and the Goldendale Housing office, located at 112 East Main St.
Those interested can also visit WAGAP’s website, www.wagap.org/donate, to schedule a one-time donation, or to set up an ongoing monthly donation. They also have the opportunity to direct their dollars to the greatest need or to a particular program of interest. Full report at www.columbiagorgenews.com.
