BLANKET DRIVE

The Blanket Drive is a wonderful way for companies and schools to get involved and give back to those who desperately need it. In the past we have had companies rallying around this Drive with internal competitions. We have had schools running drives and creating awareness in the children of compassion towards animals... The Winter Blanket Drive started in 2003 when the founders Melissa and Alan Riback saw a dire need to assist the shelters with blankets for the abandoned animals through the cold winter months. When we started, we were only able to assist 4 organisations with a few blankets each. The next year we started thinking of how we could help more than just 4 shelters and began getting family and friends involved... The strength of the Drive is now that we not only donate blankets but also much needed dog and cat food, we help organisations cover astronomical vet bills and we sponsor sterilization campaigns.
