PRIOR LAKE, Minn. — Each Christmas, generous donors give “gently used” blankets to the local charitable organization called Bridging for distribution to local families, and approximately 8,000 blankets were donated this past holiday season through the annual Bring a Blanket drive co-sponsored by Subway Restaurants.
Of those, about 1,000 were slightly soiled and in need of washing, so Bridging turned to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) Laundry Facility, which washed, dried and hand-folded them at no charge.
