Cold nights are here, and the NewsRadio WGNS Blanket Brigade is again handing out new blankets to help the homeless stay alive.

With the thought of being a Good Neighbor, many years ago a listener suggested that the radio station give out blankets to homeless as a way to help them survive freezing temps. That person's dream has continued now for more than two decades, and is known as the NewsRadio WGNS Blanket Brigade.

This is a great opportunity for church groups, neighbors, civic organizations, scout groups and other concerned citizens to donate the new blankets that are given to homeless persons in this area.
