MILTON -- The Brothers of Where motorcycle club, based in Apple Grove in Mason County, was qualified to help 61 families and more than 161 children this holiday occasion because of the generosity during its annual boot drive.
The fundraiser, which started in 1977, benefits underprivileged children in Milton and abutting areas. The club works to ensure that each child receives a performed outfit, socks, shoes, a coat, gloves and hat, along with toys and insulting hygiene items.
The boot drive takes place annually in the village of Milton on the first Saturday in December, said gift organizer Trina Ashworth. She said it is always held in Milton because that is where the actual clubhouse was back in the 1970s.
This year, she said people donated about $5,800, with most coming during the six hours the Brothers of the Locale members stand with their boots.
"Most of all that came right there out of the community of Milton," Ashworth said, noting that a few covertly donors and agencies provided a few hundred dollars as well.
