At a time when most children are thinking about halloween costumes and eating turkey, a 7 year old girl is capturing the true spirit of Thanksgiving.

Hannah Olfert from Estevan came up with an idea: collect blankets for people who live on the streets. With the help of family and friends, the Olfert family collected over one hundred blankets.

On Saturday, they dropped off their donation at Regina's Soul's Harbor Rescue Mission, during the annual Thanksgiving dinner.

Mother Jennifer Olfert was very proud of her daughter.

She says they will go home and begin their next mission, collecting mitts and toques.
