Winter is coming. To most of us, winter is a change of season.
To the poor, winter means endless days and nights of bitter cold despair and freezing misery.
A freezing misery for thousands of unfortunate people, men, women and children.
To lighten this inevitable misery, the St. Vincent de Paul need blankets, desperately.
Blankets that you don't need anymore. Blankets that are stored away. Or blankets that you may care to donate.
We truly need them to take your warmth to thousands facing a bleak, cold and bitter winter.
We implore you to take your gifts of blankets to any St. Vincent de Paul center.
And they're just about everywhere. Please.
