To the editor:
Home Health United (HHU)-Janesville would like to thank everyone who went above and beyond in answering our call for help for donations of lap blankets for our hospice patients.
As of now, Janesville and its surrounding communities have donated more than 100 lap blankets for our hospice patients. We have received so many blankets the office is overflowing!
Nothing brings comfort on a cold winter night like snuggling under a warm blanket for a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, not everyone in our community has a clean, warm blanket to call his or her own.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s Recycle the Warmth blanket drive slated for January 29 to 31 will help provide warmth and comfort for local families struggling with poverty. The society is urging area residents to search closets — or use their checkbooks — to provide blankets and bedding.
