Drop off blankets and winter warmth!
St John is a drop of point this winter for Give a Kid a Blanket.
This amazing team collects blankets and other winter warmth to distribute to children and their families in Auckland.
If you’ve got any new or good quality preloved blankets, duvets, sleeping bags and sheets and bedding or any new children’s pyjamas, thermals, socks, woollen hats, pillows or hot water bottles please drop them off at 2 Harrison Road between 8.30am and 3.30pm weekdays.
Collection runs to 22 July. If you’re wondering what they need most, it’s single and queen duvets and covers. Thanks in advance for your kindness.
