Urgent! Special Request for Blankets

Lisa La Vallee | Published on 12/8/2017

Recently, one of the public schools we work with identified an under-served family from the Democratic Republic of Congo living in the neighborhood that urgently needs support. When asked about their immediate needs, they requested blankets or comforters for two adults and six children (ages 8-15).

If you have a new or gently used blanket or comforter that you would like to donate, please email us at hydeparkrefugeeproject@gmail.com and you will be contacted about where to drop off your donation.  We hope to collect six full- or twin-sized and two queen-sized blankets or comforters as quickly as possible.

We’ll keep you posted about any future requests.
As always, you’re generosity is much appreciated!
