Triple M Albany is launching a new community initiative, ‘Blanket Albany’.

From today, 20 May, Triple M Albany is calling on the local community to provide new blankets to assist the homeless as the cooler winter months set in.

Triple M Albany Breakfast announcer, Atlas Cook, said: "I'm so glad that I can be a part of such an amazing cause in Albany. I hope that everyone can come together as a community and help.”

Following almost a month of blanket collections, Triple M Albany will host a live broadcast on Saturday 15 June at the Town Hall in Albany between 8am – 10am.

All the donated blankets will be displayed at the live broadcast before they are donated to local charities for distribution.

Triple M Southwest is also running an identical initiative called ‘Blanket Bunbury’ which runs until 1 June.

Triple M Albany will be accepting blanket donations until 14 June.

Drop off points for the new blankets are:

  • Triple M Albany, 171 Albany Street, Albany
  • Harvey Norman, 5 Brooks Garden Blvd, Albany
  • The Empty Bobbin, 319-331 Albany Hwy, Albany
