Year in Review: Blanket BC's 2014 AGM (Feb. 22/2014)

3/3/2014

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Each new year brings additional challenges and without a doubt, our hands-on approach allowed us to quickly direct our limited resources where they were most needed. This year we assisted additional shelters, various housing groups and generally adjusted our program to ensure that we continued to assist our original demographic of people in shelters, on the streets and to those homeless who are virtually unseen. The success we achieve stems from our fundamental dedication, responsiveness and our flexibility in continuously adapting to changing needs of our clientele and our ability to obtain resources to meet the demand on our services on a timely basis.

We have taken steps to strengthen our services with our major campaign in November in addition to a number of small fundraising functions held throughout the year.

With that, Blanket BC’s "Drive on the Line" campaign celebrated its fifth year with records numbers. We collected over 8000 blankets, over 2000 articles of clothing and received over $4500 with our coin boxes. This was all accomplished with the astounding numbers of Blanketeers, nearly 200 strong! I hope this has created a strong measure of satisfaction for all those who participated; as well we have developed a methodology for future growth with limited resources to those who continue to fight at the poverty level.

Since Blanket BC was founded eight and a half years ago, with have collected and distributed approximately 135,000 blankets.

I am confident that our message regarding poverty is being received and understood in communities throughout British Columbia. Our relationship with key donors and our ability to identify essential needs of our clientele are the major factors that have made Blanket BC a recognized leader in Shelter relief.

In closing, I would like to think we ended the year energized, focused and with a strong sense of motivation. Blanket BC is confident that we can provide important services to our clientele even in the current difficult economic environment.

I wish to thank you, our generous and committed donors, volunteers and board members, for your dedication and continued support. With your involvement, we can continue to help thousands of people that face daily challenges against all odds.




Warmest Regards,

Gregory Ould
