Eugene Police Department launches Hoodies for High Schoolers campaign
Eugene, OR – The Eugene Police Department announced the start of its annual Hoodies for High Schoolers campaign, running from December 1 through December 31.
The initiative collects new hoodies for local high school students in need, aiming to provide extra warmth and comfort during the winter months.
Donations can be dropped off at Eugene Police Headquarters, 300 Country Club Road, or the Downtown Public Safety Station, 960 Olive Street.
Additional drop-off locations include Kendall Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Subaru, and Chevy dealerships, as well as the Kendall Value Lot at 20 Coburg Road.
