Help Create Blankets For The Homeless By Donating Plastic Bags
How many plastic bags does it take to make one blanket? For the past three years, Pam Miller, RN, the director of nursing at the Mount Laurel office of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services (PHHC), with headquarters in Eatontown, N.J., has been creating blankets for the homeless from plastic bags.
Miller cuts plastic strips from the bags, and then crochets the strips into blankets. It takes about 900 bags to make one blanket so she now asking everyone to donate clean plastic bags no matter their condition.
The New Jersey drop-off sites are in Eatontown, Elmwood Park, Galloway, Jersey City, Mt. Laurel, Neptune, North Brunswick, Robbinsville, South Orange, and Toms River.
