BELLINGHAM, Wash. — This week is National Nurses Week, and to honor our healthcare workers fighting the coronavirus, a Bellingham scrub and footwear business is conducting a scrub drive.

Choices Scrubs and Footwear is asking for donations of new or gently-used scrubs, which will be washed, treated and distributed to a frontline worker or healthcare facility in Whatcom County.

Choices is also donating more than 200 sets of new scrubs from their inventory and are in communication with vendors and partners to help supply and donate additional scrubwear to frontline staff.

Donations may be dropped off at the Choices store at 424 W. Bakerview Road, Suite 102 in the Bakerview Square.
