The Blanket Bank
The Blanket Bank is a project of giving and receiving, free from judgement, he ngākau aroha (work of the heart) which gives out free blankets and bedding to individuals and whānau. Hundreds of items are given out every year to help keep whānau and tamariki in our city warm.
Many homes in Ōtautahi are still insufficiently insulated and the costs of heating and bedding are hard for many whānau to manage. We are committed to supporting anyone who can benefit from receiving a package from the Blanket Bank - the only criteria for accessing the service is a need for warm bedding.
We rely on donations from the general public to maintain our stock levels of bedding and blankets. If you can support us by making a donation, we'd be extremely grateful.
The Blanket Bank is run by the Christchurch Methodist Mission, one of the largest social service providers in the Upper South Island.
