An Abbotsford charity that normally holds an annual clothing driver is this year hosting an online fundraising campaign instead.

Cozy Covers has donated more than 15,000 clothing items to various shelter, youth centres and organizations across the Fraser Valley for the last 15 years.

Last year, they extended their campaign to several provinces across Canada.

But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the organization is hoping to raise $40,000 by Nov. 11 through a GoFundMe campaign to help 16 charities in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Langley.
