A LOCAL business is calling on the community to help keep those less fortunate a little warmer this winter.
As cooler weather hits Noosa, Tewantin firm Drysdale Funerals and the Salvation Army are urging locals to donate blankets to families in need.
Drysdale Funerals staff member Christine Sterlson said blankets of all sizes were greatly accepted, right down to baby blankets and knee rugs.
“At the end of July we will donate the blankets to the Salvation Army who will then distribute them to people in need.”
Ms Sterlson said the local community had already donated over 100 blankets, with a further 100 coming from a resort in Caloundra.
“We match the blankets one for one, so at the moment we have over 400 blankets to donate, but we still need more,” she said.
“The local community was great last year when we launched the appeal, but this year they have been fantastic.”
If you would like to donate a blanket drop by Drysdale Funerals, 27 Butler Street, Tewantin, during business hours or call 5449 9383.
