The Office of Engagement Programs in Syracuse University’s Hendricks Chapel is sponsoring a blanket drive through Feb. 4 to assist people in need in the community this winter season.
Donations of new or gently-used blankets can be made in the Office of Engagement Programs or the Hendricks Chapel Dean’s Office, both located on the lower level of the chapel. Donations of 4 yards of fleece or funds to help purchase fleece will also be accepted.
The fleece will be used during a cut-and-tie blanket party on Friday, Feb. 4, from noon-3 p.m. in the Hendricks Chapel Noble Room. Members of the SU community are invited to come and help create blankets. Lunch will be served.
For more information, contact the Office of Engagement Programs at engagesu@syr.edu.
