Winter has arrived, and the Rotary Club Of Avoyelles is once again collecting new blankets to benefit Avoyelles Council on Aging/Avoyelles Public Transit helping keep local seniors warm, comfortable during the colder months.

Now through Jan. 12., citizens can donate new blankets to the cause. A simple blanket can make a big difference — providing warmth, comfort, and a reminder that the community cares.

There are various drop-off locations available throughout the parish: 

• First Guaranty Bank – Tunica Dr. Marksville & Moreauville branches

• Simmesport State Bank – Mansura & Simmesport branches

• Empower Wealth Management – Marksville

Let’s come together and share a little extra warmth this season. The Rotary Club thanks donors for supporting seniors and spreading kindness in the community.
