The REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive is in its final stretch, and this is your last chance to clean out your closets and make a meaningful impact. With only a couple of days left before collections wrap up, now is the perfect time to gather any gently used coats, blankets, and warm clothing you can spare.
If you’re like many of us, there’s a coat in your closet that has a story attached to it; maybe the one you wore on early-morning showings from a few years ago, or the jacket that lived in your car all last winter, “just in case.” It’s been hanging there quietly, easy to overlook. But someone else won’t overlook it. Imagine the moment they zip it up, their shoulders easing, their breathing slowing, maybe even telling a shelter worker, “This is the warmest I’ve been in weeks.”
That single moment of comfort is just the beginning. The simple act of giving, of choosing to let go of something useful so someone else can feel safe and seen, creates warmth that lasts. It stays with the person long after the winter chill fades, reminding them that their community cares. And it all starts with you taking a moment to pull that jacket – or hat or scarf or gloves – from the back of your closet and let it find a new home.
Across the Fraser Valley, brokerages are already making a strong contribution, a testament to the generosity and community spirit of REALTORS® and their teams. With your help in these final days, we can push that number even higher and bring warmth to more people in need this winter.
Whether you’re gathering donations from your office, clients, or community, your efforts ensure that this long-standing REALTORS Care® tradition continues to spread Warmth That Lasts throughout our region.
Drop off locations are available here.
Take part today! Rally your team and your friends, gather those final donations, and help make this year’s Blanket Drive the warmest one yet.
