Hawthorn is this week supporting the Salvos' Bring a Blanket community initiative for Round 15.

As part of the initiative, Hawks and Magpies fans are encouraged to donate new or clean blankets and funds to the Salvos who will be stationed around the MCG for this Sunday’s blockbuster match.

Thousands of homeless Melburnians are doing it tough and sleeping rough this winter.

You can help by donating a clean or new blanket this Sunday at the MCG, find out more.
