The Live Oak Police Department is hosting its third annual Blanket Drive through Dec. 14.

This drive collects blankets, new socks, undergarments and gently used coats that benefit Communities Under the Bridge, which serves the needs of the homeless in San Antonio.

To help collect as many blankets as possible, the police department partners with Great Hearts Academy, which is a K-9 tuition-free academy in the city.

Last year, the combined efforts raised more more than 1,000 donated items.

Donations can be made at the Live Oak Police Department, which is located at 8022 Shin Oak Drive, Live Oak. For questions, contact Officer Brandie Bedore at 210-315-1321.
