Foster children are staying warm with the help of a statewide agency.
Braley & Thompson of Virginia is hosting its first annual “Wrapped in Love” winter blanket drive. New and gently used blankets are being collected for youth through February 14, according to a release from the organization.
“At Braley & Thompson, we have the opportunity to spread warmth and love to the children and teens throughout the State of Virginia as they navigate the foster care system. We are thankful for our surrounding communities and the outpouring of support provided around the work we do for children and families,” Sandra Bermudez from Braley & Thompson said in a release. “We invite them all to join us in donating blankets this winter season to help the youth we serve feel comfortable and at home, wherever that may be.”
