We go where the need is greater at the time, but we aim to reach as many areas as possible far and wide and right here at home,\u201d says Lauren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started this blanket drive at the beginning of July, because even though I lay in my warm, cosy bed under three blankets, I still freeze up. So, what about those on the streets? What about those who only have one thin blanket? What about those who were affected by the floods recently? That is when we decided to help warm hearts by collecting as many blankets as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in the medical field as a paramedic for 16 years, alongside policeman Marco, serving is in their nature. The Beacon Valley-based couple aim to develop and strengthen communities by providing essential resources to those in need, reaching underprivileged families across the metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have run sanitary pad drives, stationery and food drives in the past, with this being their first blanket drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drop-off points are available in Portlands and Beacon Valley. Collections can also be arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact Marco on 081 444 7204, Lauren on 081 277 1495, or email
