A 5-year-old girl named Dionna
Pellegrino is on a mission to help the homeless stay warm by creating a blanket
drive for Random Acts of Kindness Day.
Her mother Jessica says the inspiration came from
a conversation with a homeless man and that's when the idea hit
Dionna. She was able to collect blankets from her neighbors, dance studio
and elementary school.
The donation drop-off began at 7 a.m., and Brown’s
Heating and Cooling helped with the deliveries.
The donations went to the Lunch Break in Red
Bank, the homeless shelter in Fort Monmouth and the Trinity Church in Asbury
Park.
