If you would like to know more about the American Red Cross’ Blanket Drive, call their office 601-636-9182 and speak with one of the great folks there OR, just watch Coffee with Janice Sawyer!We encourage each and every one of you to purchase a blanket this weekend.  It doesn’t matter what size it is.  It can be an inexpensive throw from a dollar store or it can be an extravagant king-sized comforter, the choice is YOURS to make.  We know that the economy is in the tank right now and every penny means something to you, but when a family has lost everything in a house fire, which – for a myriad of reasons – are much more common in the winter, those pennies you spent on a blanket mean the world to them.]]]]> ]]>
