Hello everyone,

It’s that wonderful time of year again! I’m reaching out to invite you to take part in the 31st Annual REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive, hosted by the FVREB. This initiative has helped countless individuals and families over the years, and I’d love for us to make this year our most generous yet.

Donation drop-off:
You can bring your items to our office anytime between now and November 24th. (If a few donations arrive after that, no worries — I’ll personally make sure they get delivered to a local resource centre.)

This is a great opportunity to reconnect with clients — whether it’s families you’ve helped move this year, renters you’ve placed, or those currently preparing for a move. Many will be more than happy to part with a few items for a good cause!

Attached to this email is a creative you can share on social media or include in your monthly newsletters to help spread the word.

Most-needed items:
🧣 Blankets
🧥 Winter clothing
🧤 Mittens & toques
🧦 New socks and underwear
🪥 Toiletries (always appreciated — I usually grab a few from the dollar store)

Bonus: One of our partner organizations, Bill Reid Place, has mentioned they’re happy to accept all types of clothing, not just winter wear. If you bring summer items, please label the bag “BILL REID PLACE” so I can keep everything organized.

Your donations will support incredible local groups, including Sources, NightShift Ministries, Union Gospel Mission, Options Community Centres, Bill Reid Place, Avalon Recovery Society, Peace Portal Alliance, various seasonal warming shelters, and more.

Thank you all for helping keep our community warm and cared for this winter season. 💙
