REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive 2014
Metro Vancouver REALTORS® Have Been Sharing the Warmth For 20 years
This year, the REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive marks 20 years. Twenty years of sharing with those in need, 20 years of helping our communities.
It started when a group of REALTORS® called on their colleagues to gather what blankets they could to help the homeless keep warm in the Downtown Eastside.
Who could have imagined that two decades later, the Blanket Drive would expand to include members of three real estate boards and, as well as the homeless, was helping single mothers, the working poor, and those getting back into the workforce.
You can help by donating the following items to one of our drop-off locations, or call me, your local real estate consultant, and I will come and pick up your donations.
New or gently used
• blankets, sleeping bags
• warm clothing – coats, jeans, pants, sweaters
• scarves, gloves, mitts, hats
• socks (new), in high demand
• underwear (new)

All donations collected in a community stay in that community!
