San Francisco 49ers Coat and Blanket Drive |
Not only did we accept a phenomenal amount of donated items but we were deeply touched by witnessing the caring hearts of all of those who placed items into our collection boxes. Some of our 39 volunteers were amazed that there were so many new blankets and jackets that people had bought just for this event. Fans who did not know about the drive were happy to donate their own coats off of their backs in order to participate in this gift to InnVision. Others donated funds that will be used in our programs.
We came up in a 24-foot Penske rental truck. Volunteers who had participated in prior years were worried that InnVision had ordered a truck that was larger than years past. When we pulled out of the parking lot, the truck was much heavier than when we had pulled in. We had packed it to capacity with blankets and jackets that would keep our clients warm during a cold winter. There is nothing like the feeling of complete exhaustion and satisfaction that your efforts will benefit so many!
