Since it started 24 years ago, the Blanket Drive has helped more than 345,000 people in our communities stay warm and dry. Last year alone, more than 38,000 people received a blanket, coat, or other donation from the Blanket Drive.

Here’s how you can help

Between November 13 and 20, REALTOR® volunteers will collect warm clothing and blankets across the region. The donations are then distributed to partner charities from the same community where the item was donated.

Please donate the following items for all ages:

• gently used or new blankets or sleeping bags
• warm clothing, coats
• hats, gloves, scarves
• new socks and underwear
• plastic ponchos

Socks are especially important for the homeless. They’re as good as gold. Find out why by listening to this item from CBC radio, Sunday Edition: http://bit.ly/2k6t0tF

Drop off your donations at my office or give me a call and I will gladly pick them up!
