As the temperatures drop and the holiday season approaches, Fulton County District 5 Commissioner Marvin S. Arrington, Jr. is once again calling on the community to open their hearts — and their closets — for the annual “Blanket Atlanta with Love” drive, beginning Monday, November 3, 2025.
This 12-day community initiative gathers new and gently used coats, clothing, blankets, and toiletries to help individuals and families in need. Through generosity and unity, Fulton County residents can help ensure that no neighbor is left out in the cold this winter.
“Each year, this drive reminds us what the season of giving is truly about — love, compassion, and community,” said Commissioner Arrington. “Together, we can blanket Atlanta with warmth and kindness.”
