Bendigo Bank Benalla is keen to remind the community there is still time to donate to its annual blanket drive.

This year cost-of-living pressures are making it increasingly difficult for many families to stay warm during the colder months.

Bendigo Bank’s blanket drive, a collaboration with Waminda Community House, will make life easier for many in the Rose City, including young children and the elderly.

Blankets can be dropped of at Bendigo Bank on Bridge St until close of business on Friday, June 2 and will subsequently be distributed by Waminda Community House to families and individuals in need.

Please ensure all donated blankets are clean and fit for purpose.

If you are in need and would like to collect a blanket or two, you can contact Waminda Community House on 5762 4528.
