Local charities and drop-in centres are appealing to REALTORS® to focus this year on rounding up new sleeping bags, bedding (sheets and blankets) and comforters. This is in addition to the usual gently-used winter coats, hats, mitts, long-sleeved shirts, jeans and other cold weather clothing.

Encourage your colleagues, clients, friends and family to purchase a new blanket, sheets or sleeping bag for donation, in addition to their contribution of warm clothing.

In Cloverdale, donations may be dropped off at HomeLife Benchmark Realty, 103 – 5830 – 176A Street, phone 604-574-0161.
