Share the Warmth: High Springs Lions Club 3rd Annual Children’s Blanket Drive
Bring Comfort and a Smile to a Child in Need
We are starting our Drive a little earlier this year, to help us reach our goal.
As winter approaches and the temperatures drop, the simple gift of a cozy blanket becomes invaluable. For many of us, the season brings joy and festivities. But for children facing hospitalization, illness—including those bravely battling childhood cancer—trauma, or hardship, winter can be a time of intense struggle.
Think of the comfort, warmth, and security your own favorite blanket provides when you are cold, lonely, or unwell. Our goal this year is to collect 300+ new or homemade blankets to gift that exact feeling of safety and love to children in and around our community. When a blanket is given, hearts are healed.
How You Can Help
We know times are tough, but we have unwavering faith in the compassion of our community. There are two meaningful ways you can help us reach our goal:
Donate a Blanket: We are collecting new, unwrapped, or beautifully homemade blankets.
Make a Monetary Donation: If you can't bring a physical blanket, every dollar makes a difference. 100% of monetary donations will go directly toward purchasing blankets to ensure no child is left out in the cold.
