Welcome Home to Host Fabric of Community Blanket & Towel Drive at The Street Chestnut Hill

Welcome Home to Host Fabric of Community Blanket & Towel Drive at The Street Chestnut Hill on October 4 sponsored by Mark’s Moving & Storage

Welcome Home invites the community to help make a meaningful impact through the “Fabric of Community Blanket & Towel Drive” on Saturday, October 4, from 10am to 1pm at The Street Chestnut Hill, 33 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467. The event is sponsored by Mark’s Moving & Storage.

As cooler weather approaches, guests are encouraged to donate new or gently used blankets and towels, two of the most requested items by individuals and families transitioning into new housing. Donations will be collected on-site in a moving truck generously provided by Mark’s Moving & Storage, with all items benefiting Welcome Home, a local organization dedicated to providing household essentials to those in need. Mark’s Moving & Storage, the initiator and champion of the event, are also providing a driver, support staff and storage, if needed for surplus items.

As a thank you, each donation will enter guests into a raffle for a chance to win various items from The Street’s exciting roster of businesses, including Winston Flowers, Showcase SuperLux, SWTHZ, Gorjana, Bond Vet, and M.M.LaFleur. Guests can also enjoy complimentary cookies from The Half Cookie, treat vouchers from Polkadog Bakery, and more, while supplies last.

Julie Plaut Mahoney of Welcome Home noted, “This is a wonderful opportunity to directly assist families who need some help in outfitting their homes with blankets and towels as we come into the colder months. Any and all donations are deeply appreciated.”

Mark Silverman of Mark’s Moving added, “We are delighted to provide the transportation for this event that will have a major impact on regional families.”

Jeffrey Rosenthal, General Manager of The Street Chestnut Hill says, “Community is at the heart of everything we do at The Street, and we’re always looking for meaningful ways to give back. We’re proud to host this special initiative and support Welcome Home’s mission of helping our neighbors create a safe, comfortable place to call home.”
