Hato Hone St John Stratford cadets are helping the community this winter.

Until the end of July, the unit is collecting donations of clean warm clothing and blankets.

Hato Hone St John cadets volunteer Donna Millar said the winter warmer initiative would help Taranaki families in need.

“We are looking for donations of jumpers, socks, blankets, gloves, scarves and pants.”

She said it was the first time the Stratford group had done this, with the local businesses stepping in and helping.

“We had collection boxes at T & H Betta Electrical in Hāwera and Coastal Supermarket in Ōpunake. Thank you so much for your support.”

A collection box is located in Stratford at Paper Plus, 243 Broadway.
