Blankets for the Homeless  

Blanket and Fleece Collection Drive - Collection Period - October - January 

• We partner with local businesses, civic groups, individuals, and churches to collect blankets, or fleece-like material, to provide warmth to our local homeless population. 
• Civic and church groups have collected material in the past and made blankets themselves as a group activity. 
• New blankets, already made craft blankets, and blanket material is welcomed
