WILLISTON, Vt.—In 1998, to provide area community organizations with blankets to help Vermonters in need, New England Federal Credit Union (NEFCU) conducted its first Blankets of Hope Drive.
The drive has collected and distributed thousands of blankets to organizations, including the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), Spectrum Youth & Family Services, Samaritan House, and others.
2018 marked the 20th Blankets of Hope Drive . As in years past, the drive ran Dec. 1-31. Morethan 150 blankets were collected and cleaned by Greer’s Professional Fabricare. This year’s blankets were delivered to:
- Spectrum Youth & Family Services
- Tim’s House
- Howard Center
- Lund Family Center
- COTS
