Mandurah Chipper Funerals collecting blankets for the homeless

A major community initiative, the blanket appeal will help Anglicare warm up the streets this winter.

Narelle Litchfield, from Chipper Funerals, said the blanket appeal was a great way to raise awareness of the plight of homelessness while supporting those less fortunate.

“As the nights get colder during the harsh winter months, it’s important to remember the many disadvantaged and homeless Australians living without the winter essentials,” she said.

“A staple in many linen closets and beds across Australia, having a comfortable and cosy blanket to keep you warm at night can be a luxury many people are unable to afford.”
