North Syracuse Junior High student leads district-wide blanket drive

For the past several years, DJ Villnave, now a high school freshman at North Syracuse Junior High School, has spearheaded a community blanket drive to help people in need. This year, DJ has the support of all schools in the district and several community groups. Blankets can be dropped off at any school in the district and several other locations through the end of January. Please consider sending in a new or gently used blanket to help with the cause!
