Sleeping bags and blankets needed for refugees

[shoshntosh]

Hello

We are collecting clean, quality sleeping bags and blankets for the Calais Refuge Camp. We have committed to the donations coordinator that we will deliver 100 by the first weekend in October, and we are already about 1/3 of the way there. Please PM me if you have any that you would like to donate. Guidelines for donations:

* Heavy blankets and sleeping bags only

* Second hand items should be cleaned prior to donation

* New items specifically purchased are also very welcome

* No duvets please

* We unfortunately cannot accept any other items for donation at this time

You may already know that the charities supporting the camp are experiencing donor fatigue at the moment. With the colder weather coming in, providing warm bedding has become a top priority. A blanket is a simple thing that most of us take for granted, but it can make an enormous difference to the people living at the camp.

Thanks
