FWP Lifejacket Donation Drive, May 19-23, 8 Locations

Help celebrate #NationalSafeBoatingWeek (May 19–23) by giving it a second life!

FWP is hosting a Lifejacket Donation Drive at 8 spots across Montana. Your gently-used (non-inflatable) jackets will help restock lifejacket loaner stations—aka those super-handy stands where folks can borrow one for the day and stay safe on the water.

Drop yours off May 19–23 at any donation site. Any size, as long as it’s wearable and still floats your boat.

You can help keep Montana’s waters safe, one vest at a time!
