Warming up kids

The Give a Kid a Blanket charity collects donations of warm bedding and delivers them to families in need.

This year Susann Law of Whangaparaoa who featured in Hibiscus Matters last winter, when she began collecting blankets for the appeal, is again helping the cause.

She is collecting blankets starting on June 1.

You can message her on Facebook if you would like to donate a blanket, warm coats, pajamas, new pillow or duvet covers.

Alternatively you can drop the items into Hibiscus Matters’ office in Tamariki Plaza, Orewa, during working hours (8.30am-5pm, Monday to Friday).
