Blankets of Hope event on
January 10 to collect blankets
for area homeless
You can bring new or used blankets to the St. Vincent's Center on Saturday, January 10 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
All blankets will be distributed for free to area homeless during the cold winter months, when we can receive up to 60 requests for a blanket in one day. We collected 1,000 blankets last year and hope to double that number this year!
