Blanket donors will receive a coupon for $2 off any shop purchase. Located at 51 County Road 635 (Charlestown Road) in Hampton, the nonprofit shop, in partnership with Clinton United Methodist Church, is holding the blanket drive through December 23 and will deliver the blankets to the residents of the assisted living facilities on December. 24. Donors should attach a tag or post-it with the word "Hope" to each blanket and can bring them to either the thrift shop or to the Clinton United Methodist Church Office at 10 Halstead Street in Clinton.
