Give A Kid A Blanket

Anna from Remuera

Kia ora koutou Neighbours,
Once again I am a drop off point (Remuera - other areas listed at bottom of post) for this really awesome couple. If you have blankets, bedding, items of warmth to suit the descriptions below (new or clean second hand), I'm building a stockpile to get a carload(s) to them.

Please message me or text 0212170261 if you wish to drop off items.

Give a Kid a Blanket started in 2015 as a Community Activated Art Action conceived and lead by artists Donna Turtle Sarten & Bernie Harfleet. The project has gone from strength to strength and is now a non profit registered charity. With the help of the community of kindness that has gathered around the project we collect blankets and other items of warmth and care and gift them to kids and their families through service providers including police, public health nurses, social and community workers.

Since 2015 we have gifted over 60,000 blankets and over 40,000 other objects of warmth and care.

We also support North Shore and Auckland Hospital’s Intensive Care Units with family support packs.

In 2020 we start collecting for winter from from the May 30 till July 19.

This year there is a ‘Give a Little’ page to support the costs of running the project. givealittle.co.nz...

With what is predicted to be an even harder winter for many kids, with families in NZ facing the winter cold in cars, garages, sleep outs and damp cold housing, we hope we were able to help more families keep warm this winter.

We want recipients to feel both warmed and valued by the community.
Our focus is to celebrate the acts of kindness many are able to make, and acknowledge the important work of those working with families from health and social agencies.

Follow ‘Give a Kid a Blanket’ on Facebook - www.facebook.com...
