Celebrate milestone Blanket Drive by donating again!

The 15th annual REALTORS® Care Blanket Drive is on NOW and will run until Monday, December 7. Since 1994, REALTORS® in the Lower Mainland have collected an astonishing 26,000 bags of blankets and warm clothing for people in our communities who need them the most.

This year, donations are needed more than ever. Pick up a bag from any of the Board's 40 participating offices or fill your own bag. The list of drop-off locations is on REALTOR Link® and www.blanketdrive.ca.

Here's what local charities have requested this year:

• NEW blankets, sheets or bedding for drop-in centres afflicted with bed-bugs...they can't accept used items this year.
• GENTLY-USED warm clothing, winter coats, jeans, sweats, hoodies, footwear to be given out to the homeless or working poor
• NEW socks, underwear, gloves or hats, handed out directly to people coming in off the street

Members should know and be proud that this Drive is now a critical contributor to many charities that rely on it to stock their shelves with clothing well into spring. Thank you everyone for your support!
