St. Vincent de Paul annually provides
hundreds of needy people in Madison and its surrounding
communities with good-quality recycled and new bedding.
Dozens of area churches, Dane County Shopko stores,
WISC-TV3, TVW, Today’s Q-106.3FM, JAMZ-93.1FM,
WJJO-94.1FM, LaMovida-1480AM and WHIT-1550AM are
all working with us to ask people to bring gently used or
new bedding to one of the county’s four Shopko stores
or one of the participating churches being added to the list
below. Blankets and other bedding
will also be collected at the six St. Vincent de Paul
thrift stores in Madison, Stoughton, Verona and
Waunakee. Dane County Shopko stores are
making new, good-quality blankets available for purchase and
donation at an attractive price. Q-106 will be
broadcasting live on Friday, Jan. 25, from the Shopko
location at 7401 Mineral Point Road in Madison.
All the bedding we collect or purchase
during this drive will then be given away during the next
twelve months to needy individuals and families who come to
our Center for Vincentian Charity (2033 Fish Hatchery Road
in Madison) seeking assistance from the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul.
Another way to help is to contribute
toward the purchase of additional bedding (new sheets,
pillows, and mattress covers) to meet the requests we
receive. Last year we raised several thousand dollars
from people in local church communities and from area
businesses.
If
your religious congregation would like to participate,
please give us a call at 442-7200, x440; we would be happy
to provide bins for blanket collection, posters or any other
supplies you may need. We expect about four dozen area
religious congregations to take part in this year’s drive.
