Rosewood Miracle Workers Aktion Club is conducting a blanket drive as a way to help children in need. 

Now through Feb. 29, Rosewood Miracle Workers 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. 

“This annual drive is so important to our Aktion Club members because they see first-hand how important the blankets are to the organizations that we donate to,” said Rosewood Aktion Club sponsor Frankie Pelster. “Blankets provide comfort to children, especially in their most vulnerable times. Family Crisis Center and Barton County Health Department serve a lot of children across our region. Once again, we are hoping for tremendous involvement from our community to support this worthy cause.” 

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.
