Holiday Help

In the next few weeks, it's going to get pretty damned chilly out. While you're nestled safely in bed, consider for a moment the plight of Austin's thousands of homeless or otherwise impoverished folks, forced to make their way in the bitter cold this winter. We were pleased to see that News 8 and Reid's Cleaners have teamed up this season for their third annual "Keep Austin Warm Blanket Drive," which is, well, a blanket drive:

Your donation of a new or gently-used blanket will go directly to Front Steps, an Austin not-for-profit organization who supports low-income workers, disabled and homeless individuals and their families to find lasting and affordable housing. In partnering with Front Steps, we can better assure that your donated blankets are distributed to those who need them most.

Wanna donate? Drop off locations are listed after the expandotron!
