YMCA Partners to Collect Blankets, Socks, Hats & Gloves


The YMCA of Greater Nashua is again helping Kieran Hummer this year collect new or gently used blankets, as well as new socks, hats and gloves. (All used items must be clean and free of tears, etc.) Kieran’s Kovers has donated over 3000 items to aid in helping keep the homeless warm. All blankets and warming items are collected and given to the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter. This is the Y's 10th year helping with this blanket drive.

(Due to COVID-19, no comforters or coats will be accepted this year.)

If you can help with the drive, please bring a blanket (or a few!), new socks, hats and/or gloves to the large collection boxes located in the YMCA lobbies at any of our branches (Nashua Y, Merrimack Y, Westwood Park Y). The drive will run from November 22 – December 31.
