Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce collected and donated winter coats, sweaters, hats, scarves, and gloves to local non-profits that help the homeless. The "Warmer Winter" initiative was headed by Jane Gandee, owner of ServiceMaster Restore and a member of the Chamber Board of Directors. Local businesses donated the winter clothing which was then sorted and delivered. Sonja Caison, owner of The Cleaning Authority, solicited donations from her clients. Above, Caison and Gandee, bring outerwear donations to Herb Lea at UCM.
