Fortunately for the city's less fortunate, a blanket drive called Blankets for Hope is looking to change that situation for Saint Johners who have fallen on hard times.
Organizer Tammy Robichaud tells CHSJ News her fiance used to be homeless which has led them to help out others. She says while it might seem like a basic necessity for those living comfortably, a warm blanket can be a matter of life and death if you're on the streets.
You can drop off blankets at Downey Ford Lincoln on Consumer Drive and Brett Chevrolet Cadillac on Rothesay Avenue until January 31. They will be given out to people in need next month.
