Drive on the Line Review!

Blanket BC's Drive on the Line 2010
Friday, November 26, 2010 was a very special time in the hearts of so many that came from all walks of life to do one simple thing; give warmth. On this day, the 40+ volunteers along with our board members, came out in force to help collect nearly 4000 blankets our the cities' homeless and for families in need. The smiles generated came from people collecting the blankets and from those giving them. Knowing that a blanket can save a life and change a life, gives all of us warmth from the heart. On behalf of our Directors Karin Sidhu, Amy Montague, Christina Szokendi, Martha Ould, Lee Cockrill and Hon. Director Benjamin Ould; Thank-you!

FIRST DRIVE ON THE LINE BLANKET DRIVE A HUGE SUCCESS

9/22/2010

0 Comments

 

Blanket BC is proud to say that the 1st “Drive on the Line” blanket blitz was a huge success with bringing in over 2600 blankets! We wish to thank all those amazing hard working volunteers, Protrans BC and their wonderful staff of Canada Line Attendants. We also want to thank our sponsors and good friends at Williams Moving & Storage, Maple Leaf Storage and The Great Little Box Company.

All donations were separated and given to shelters that night. Union Gospel Mission and The Lookout took in the majority of the blankets. The need is still great.
