We envision that the number of blankets received during the Rotary Blanket Drive could cover several acres if laid corner to corner - an image of "Acres of Warmth" to keep those less fortunate warmer during the cold winter months. The Rotary Club of Bettendorf is spearheading the third annual ROTARY BLANKET DRIVE in the Quad Cities area. Our goal is to receive 4,000+ blankets in 2023, which is an increase over last year. After blankets are dropped off at several drop-off box locations and received from various workplace blanket drives, they will be distributed to dozens of area non-profit agencies that help homeless and low-income individuals and families (including many children) to help them keep a little warmer this winter.
