THE BLANKET BANK
Every Child Warm this Winter
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.
We have called our winter appeal Every Child Warm This Winter as a reminder of our mission to continuously work towards improving the health and wellbeing of tamariki and their whānau. By supporting our appeal, you are helping us ensure that we have sufficient items for struggling whānau, keeping them warm during the cold months and removing a financial stressor.
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. We accept donations of clean, good condition bedding items, second-hand or new. Alternatively you can gift a monetary donation, allowing us to purchase items most needed.
The Blanket Bank is run by the Christchurch Methodist Mission, one of the largest social service providers in the Upper South Island.
