The blankets are being collected nationwide. The U.S. Air Force will start airlifting and delivering the blankets within a few days.
Cash donations will also be accepted. Checks should be made out to the Salvation Army, 900 W. 9th Street, Los Angeles 90015. Salvation Army facilities throughout the county will be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
