Youth On Their Own (YOTO) needs Quail Creek residents’ help this winter. Sue Ann Ombremski, president of Caring Hearts & Hands of Quail Creek (CHHQC), was contacted by YOTO to see if Quail Creek residents could donate new blankets for YOTO’s Mini Mall where students shop for food, hygiene items, household goods, and school supplies. “The need for new blankets is critical, especially right now during the winter months, with many of these students not having access to a reliable source of heat,” Sue Ann Obremski stated.
CHHQC will be collecting blankets through March 31. Our goal is to “fill up” the YOTO Subaru SUV! Brand-new blankets in their original wrappings can be dropped off in a container marked “YOTO Blankets” at the following Quail Creek residences:
2070 E. Cypress Canyon Drive
2680 E. Sawyer Road
1528 E. Dahlia Drive
1572 N. Buttes Drive
2501 E. Ensign Way
531 N. Keyes
