In celebration and to raise awareness of National Adoption Month and to provide a service for the children and families involved in Foster and Adoption programs, Abundance Massage is holding a Blanket Drive from Monday, October 18 through Friday, November 19, 2010.  All blankets will then be donated the week of Thanksgiving.

There are two different types of new, clean blankets Abundance Massage will be accepting: newborn receiving blankets for infants, and security blankets for children up to five years old.  Two agencies have been selected for these donations: newborn blankets will go to LDS Family Services in Concord, and security blankets will go to TLC Child & Family Services here in Sebastopol.

As gratitude for participating in the Drive, donors will receive a voucher for a $10 discount for every blanket donated (up to $40) toward the cost of a one hour massage.  Bring in more than four blankets to start the next voucher.  If you donate during Walk-in Wednesdays, receive an extra five minutes per blanket (up to two) free of charge.

Fostering and adoption are wonderful services steeped in possibilities, changes, hopes and fears.  Your donation will help children and families across Northern California make the transition a little more easy, a little more comfortable, and a little more warm.  Thank you.
