25th Annual Blanket Drive

Sharing the warmth for 25 years!
Get your donations ready! This program has provided warmth to the most vulnerable people in our communities. The Blanket Drive launches on November 18.

Between November 18 and 25, we collect blankets and warm clothing to help our most vulnerable residents in the Lower Mainland.  Your donations are kept in the community where they are collected, and are given to charities that distribute them directly to those in need.


Here's how you can help

We are asking our Family, Friends, Clients and the public to help make this year’s anniversary drive extra meaningful. Anyone can donate and it’s easy to do.
