Vermont's Petra Cliffs Climbing Center announces it will collect unwanted outdoor gear, and winter coats in order to supply those in need with the proper equipment to get outdoors this winter. "They’re asking the community to drop off any unwanted coats and other winter gear lying around. Everything collected will benefit the King Street Center in Burlington. Owners say it’s about making sure everyone can enjoy the winter season in Vermont," relays My Champlain Valley writer Courtney Kramer.
“We definitely encourage outdoor play and recreation and it can be difficult in Vermont if people don’t have the right layers,” said Petra Cliffs Climbing Center owner, Andrea Charest, in a press release. “Just being able to be warm and comfortable really lets people access the outdoors more enjoyably and more safely." The coat drive is in collaboration with Chix on Stix-Vermont, a coalition of female skiers.
