Rosewood Miracle Workers Aktion Club is conducting a blanket drive as a way to help children in need. Now through March 31, Rosewood Miracle Workers members are accepting new blankets, quilts, and homemade blankets. They are also accepting monetary donations, which will be used to purchase additional blankets.

Once the drive is completed, Rosewood Aktion Club members will deliver donations to two area agencies: Family Crisis Center and Barton County Health Department.

All donated blankets and monetary donations can be delivered during regular business hours to one of two locations in downtown Great Bend: Rosewood Furniture Gallery, 1607 Main; or Rosewood Bargain Barn, 1215 Main.

“Our drive has become so important to the organizations we provide blankets to each year,” said Rosewood Aktion Club sponsor Frankie Pelster. “Blankets provide comfort to children, especially in their most vulnerable times. Our Aktion Club members recognize the importance of this drive to area children and they are hoping for another successful community campaign.”

Rosewood Aktion Club is an affiliate of the national Kiwanis organization that promotes service in action for people with developmental disabilities. The area club allows Rosewood members to be actively involved in the community and to positively impact the lives of others.
