Donations of clothing, blankets and food for Burnaby's less fortunate will be collected at the donation bin at Metropolis at Metrotown's Atrium Court June 15 to 21.
The initiative is in addition to a partnership between the Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness and Quilts Etc., part of the company's efforts to donate 10,000 pillows and pillowcases to registered charities across Canada.
The company's project, dubbed 10,000 Dreams, will be launched June 21 at 2 p.m. at Metropolis.
As for local donations, the items most needed currently include clean, new or gently-used blankets, adult clothing (coats, jeans, sweaters, shoes and boots), new socks and underwear, non-perishable food, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors and travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and soap. All donations will be distributed by the Progressive Housing Society's Homeless Outreach Program.
