You can donate blankets from now through the Jan. 15 for homeless individuals and needy families at area churches.

The Thomas More Prep-Marian Biology Club has organized a blanket drive for First Call for Help and Catholic Charities.

Boxes for the blanket drive are at St. Joseph’s, St Nicholas of Myra and Immaculate Heart of Mary churches.

Samuel Allen, a TMP junior and Biology Club fundraising coordinator, said the agencies have requested large, heavy blankets that would fit at least a twin bed. Gently used or new blankets are welcomed.

Allen said the club hopes to collect at least 50 blankets. This is the first year the Biology Club has sponsored the blanket drive.

For more information, contact TMP at 785-625-6577 and ask for Allen or Kerie Maricle.
