The Trust Project What is this? FARGO — The American Red Cross and Gate City Bank are teaming up to provide warm gifts for veterans this month. They're taking donations of quilts, both new and unused, and new fleece blankets for veterans. ADVERTISEMENT The quilts and blankets can be dropped off at Gate City Bank locations . Wednesday, Nov. 11, was the initial end of the donation period, now extended through the end of the month. Red Cross officials say this is a good way to show gratitude for those who served, especially as the temperatures get colder. "There's a reason behind every single quilt these people are making and dropping off, and being able to pass off to a veteran over at the VA that's at an extended hospital stay, that's huge. That might be the only gift they get while they're in the hospital," said Kimberly Vosseteig, executive director of the American Red Cross ND/NW MN. Leaders estimate they've received at least 500 donated quilts and blankets over the last four years. The drive ends Nov. 30.
