The Public service Committee collected and donated 31 new Blankets to the New Horizons Homeless Shelter on 16 February 04. The blankets were delivered to the shelter by Vandana Dhakar and Padma Mathur.
The blankets were purchased from part of the donations received so far, in response to our appeal to the membership.
We sincerely thank the following donors who responded.
Anuradha Mullikin, Barinder Ahluwalia, Homai Khanna, Karthi Chandra, Padma Mathur, Shanti Nair, Uma Reddy, Vani Thilagar, Shoba Menon and Vandana Dhakar for donating a total of 240 dollars.
We are in the process of purchasing other much needed blankets and pillows, with the remaining donations.
The Shelter can use more blankets as they receive anywhere between 80-100 people who seek shelter during the bitter cold nights. We urge our members to respond kindly to the needs of the less fortunate members of our society.
If you would like to donate money to this cause you can make a check payable to IANH and mention Public Service Blanket Donation in the memo.
Barinder Ahluwalia and Padma Mathur
