Wrapped in warm feeling

Drysdale Funerals Tewantin is encouraging people to give a blanket and get a warm feeling in its latest charity drive for the community.
Drysdale Funerals location manager Christine Sterlson said Drysdale Funerals will match every donation by donating a blanket of its own – doubling the warmth available to those in need.
Ms Sterlson said it may be warming-up with spring around the corner but there are families who will keep and cherish the donated blankets throughout many winters to come.
“We have had a great response so far and over 100 blankets have been donated to the Nambour location,” she said.
“People have donated all different types of blankets including quilts and baby blankets. All types are accepted.”
All blankets donated to Drysdale Funerals will be given to the local Salvation Army branch in Noosaville to be distributed to local families and people in need.
Any blanket donations can be taken to Drysdale Funerals Tewantin before the end of August at 27 Butler Street, Tewantin, or phone 5449 9383 for more information.
