The Original Mattress Factory Bring A Blanket for Bridging Drive will be held on Saturday, Feb. 22 from 9 – 11 a.m. at 12 Original Mattress Factory Twin Cities retail locations.
The public is encouraged to donate new or gently used blankets for distribution to local families in need.
This drive is Bridging’s primary means of securing blankets for the more than 5,000 beds they give away annually. All sizes are needed including throw, twin, full, king and especially queen-sized blankets.
The first 20 donors at each location will receive a “secret envelope” that may contain concert tickets, movie passes or other fun prizes (one envelope per donor, regardless of the number of blankets donated.)
Bridging was founded on one simple, yet powerful idea—that together we can create a bridge between
those in need and those with excess. Since 1987, Bridging has served nearly 90,000 local Twin Cities
households, and reduces landfill space by 10 million pounds each year.
Details and location addresses can be found at: https://www.bridging.org/engage/events/bringablanket/
Sponsors include the Original Mattress Factory and K102/KEEY FM.
