Final week to contribute to Blanket Drive being held by Gundersen, donate at local clinics

Gundersen Health System and Gundersen Partners, the Health System Auxiliary, are beginning to wind down their annual blanket drive, “Wrapping the Community in Warmth.” The blanket drive is scheduled to run through January 13 and helps local organizations during the winter season, including the Allamakee County Relief Office, to provide necessary assistance to individuals most in need.

Donations can be made by dropping off new or gently used blankets at Gundersen Clinics in Waukon and Lansing. Gundersen’s goal is to collect 1,000 blankets in its entire service area.
