Rosewood Miracle Workers AKTION Club is conducting a blanket drive as a way to help children in need. Now through Feb. 28, Rosewood Miracle Workers are accepting new blankets, quilts, and homemade blankets. They are also accepting monetary donations, which will be used to purchase additional blankets.
Once the drive is completed, Rosewood AKTION Club members will deliver donations to two area agencies: Family Crisis Center and Barton County Health Department.
All donated blankets and monetary donations can be delivered during regular business hours to one of two locations in downtown Great Bend: Rosewood Furniture Gallery, 1607 Main; or Rosewood Bargain Barn, 1215 Main.
“This is our 11th year conducting this important community drive,” explained Rosewood AKTION Club sponsor Frankie Pelster, “Still, every year, the drive brings newfound joy and satisfaction to our club members because they know they are directly benefiting area children in need with gifts of warmth and comfort. Family Crisis Center and Barton County Health Department serve so many children across our region. We are hoping for tremendous involvement, once again, from the community to support our blanket drive.”
Rosewood AKTION Club is an affiliate of the national Kiwanis organization that promotes service in action for people with developmental disabilities. The area club allows Rosewood members to be actively involved in the community and to positively impact the lives of others.
