Help Collect 5000 Blankets for Tucson’s Homeless
The Tucson Pima Collaboration to End Homelessness (TPCH) is asking the community to donate 5,000 blankets and sleeping bags, through December 23, to help ensure that no one experiencing homelessness becomes severely ill or dies due to weather conditions this winter.
The 10,000 disposable FEMA blankets ordered last spring for Tucson’s winter were diverted to natural disaster areas.
City Council Ward offices are accepting blanket donations, as are several other locations listed below.
Any type of blanket is accepted.
Please share this post with other Tucson residents and help TPCH meet their goal of 5,000 blankets.
