Fabric of Community Blanket & Towel Drive

Welcome Home invites the community to help make a meaningful impact through the "Fabric of Community Blanket & Towel Drive" on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12p.m. at The Street Chestnut Hill, 33 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467. The event is sponsored by Mark's Moving & Storage.

As cooler weather approaches, guests are encouraged to donate new or gently used blankets and towels, two of the most requested items by individuals and families transitioning into new housing. Donations will be collected on-site in a moving truck generously provided by Mark's Moving & Storage, with all items benefiting Welcome Home, a local organization dedicated to providing household essentials to those in need. Mark's Moving & Storage, the initiator and champion of the event, is also providing a driver, support staff, and storage, if needed, for surplus items.

The Mark's Moving & Storage “drop-off truck will be located on the pondside of 27 Boylston Street, behind Mejuri.

As a thank you, each donation will enter guests into a raffle for a chance to win various items from The Street’s roster of businesses including Showcase SuperLux, Shake Shack, Hummingbird Books, and ALO.

Mindy Frankel Peckler of Welcome Home noted, “This is a meaningful opportunity to provide families with comfort and dignity. Donations of blankets and towels will go directly to individuals and families who need them most, helping transform a house into a warm, welcoming home. Every donation—large or small—makes a difference and is deeply appreciated.”

Mark Silverman of Mark's Moving added, "We are delighted to provide the transportation for this event that will have a major impact on regional families."

Emmy Parsons, General Manager of The Street Chestnut Hill noted, "This event is a wonderful example of how our community comes together to make a meaningful difference. We look forward to partnering with Welcome Home and Mark's Moving & Storage once again to help provide comfort and support to individuals and families as the colder months approach."
