Close To 300 Blankets Were Collected For Our 4th Annual Blanket Drive. That Means Close To 400 Beds Will Be Warmer This Winters Season. Blankets Collected Throughout This Past Summer Were Put Into Storage Until After The Drive. I Have So Many People To Thank For The Success Of This Years Drive. I Must Sit Down And List Their Names Or Business So I Can Include A Thank You Through Our Local Newspaper. This Is Far More Than A One Man Show. 

This Project Has Two Reasons For It's Existence. It Is My Belief Every Bed Should Have A Blanket In The Winter Months. Not Only Will It Keep That Person Warm But It Will Give Them The Opportunity To Lower The Thermostat At Night. We Spend One Third Of Our Time In Bed. Why Not Save Yourself Some Money While You Are Sleeping?

This Year We Were Able To Get Flyers Out To All Of The Elementary Level Schools In Danville And A Couple From Rural Areas. Getting The Word Out Was The Most Important. We Chose To Have This Drive On Black Friday Of Every Year Because It's The Busiest Shopping Day Of The Year. Being The Day After Thanksgiving It's Fresh On Our Minds How Thankful We Are To Have A Warm Bed At Night. It's Also The Season Of Giving. It Also Warms The Heart Of The Giver Knowing Their Donation Will Be Appreciated Every Night This Winters Season. It Was Cold And It Was Windy. The Prime Ingredients To Conduct A Blanket Drive.

All In All I Would Have To Say We Collected More Blankets This Year Than Any Other. My Thanks To Those Directly Or Indirectly Involved In Any Way. There Is A Special Place In Heaven For People Like You.
