SARATOGA SPRINGS — Youth² - Youth Helping Youth is holding a blanket donation drive of new and gently used cotton, wool, fleece, and acrylic blankets. This first Community Care Pop-UP of 2022, “Bundles of Blankets” will be held on Saturday, Feb. 12 from 12 to 2 p.m., snow or shine.
There will be a COVID-safe drop off at 112 Spring Street Parking Lot (entry on Court St.) in Saratoga Springs. This event will help supply blankets to those in need, including Wellspring, BEST (Backstretch), and Franklin Community Center.
During this Valentine’s Day season, warm another’s heart by donating a blanket! Have your young son or daughter, grandson, or granddaughter, pick out a blanket that is not being used in your home or buy a new blanket. Help them understand that on Valentine’s Day, they too can participate in community giving and make a neighbor’s heart warm.
Youth2 would like to thank Stewart’s Shops for underwriting their Community Care Pop-UPs and Cudney’s Launderers and Dry Cleaners for supporting Youth2 in washing and drying the gently used donated blankets.
For any further information, visit www.youthsquared.org. Youth2 is reaching out to community programs in and around Saratoga Springs who have a need and who would like a Community Care Pop-UP of their own.
