Hello Moncton

Blankets For Moncton Deadline is now Extended until January 18th, 2010 at 5:00pm

Due to a much higher demand for clothing and furniture this year, Blankets for Moncton is extending the drop-off date for donations right up until January 18th, 2010 at 5:00pm.

The blanket drive is an extensive and all encompassing event that reaches all levels of the poverty existing in Moncton at the service level by connecting all of the area non-profits and charities that deal with at-risk citizens with the material goods and resources that they need to make their clients comfortable during the cold season.

For the third annual Blanket Drive for Metro Moncton Homeless, we are collecting clean blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, winter coats, winter boots, socks, toques, hats, scarves, gloves, warm clothes, steel toed boots and shoes (men's and ladies), work gloves, backpacks, duffel bags, suitcases, curtains, toiletries, (especially hotel sized soap and shampoo bottles, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, etc.), sandwich bags and baggies, diapers, formula, feminine products, bus tickets, canned milk, food vouchers (Sobeys gift cards), coffee coupons, laundry tokens etc.

Anything clean and useful is greatly appreciated.

Anyone wishing to donate large items, such as furniture, please call Nadine at 961-0963 for more information.

The collected items will be distributed to outreach programs including

• YMCA Reconnect,
  
• Nazareth House,
  
• Crossroads for Women,
