This chapter serves children in need in the Salt Lake County area. Our mission is to:
(1) provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers" and
(2) provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
May this season of giving remind us of the impact we can create together. Wishing you joy as you enjoy the newsletter and embrace the season of giving.

The leaves are turning, pumpkin spice is in the air, and there's no better time to cozy up with stories that warm the heart. In this fall-filled edition, we're sharing a touching story from a nurse about the comfort our blankets bring; a behind-the-scenes peek at the beautiful creations made by cruisers aboard Holland America Line; and how we're wrapping our support around the incredible families of Snowball Express.
So grab your favorite blanket, a mug of something warm, settle in and enjoy this months newsletter!

Hello, September!
As the leaves start to turn, kids return to school and pumpkin spice sneaks its way back into everything, our chapter has been busier than ever! In this month's newsletter we're thrilled to share the heartwarming details of the Pay It Forward event hosted by Salt Lake City Police Department, send a big grateful thank you for the generous donations of materials we've received, and spotlight a very special contribution from the talented Quilting Sisters. There's a whole lot of kindness (and fabric) to go around so let's dive in!

Summer is in full swing, but even the blazing sun can't replace the warm hug of a cozy blanket! While the temps are high, so is the love and our mission continues. Even in the heat of summer, we are still delivering over 250 blankets to children in need each month. Comfort doesn't take a vacation.
In this month's newsletter, we're celebrating one of our amazing centenarian blanketeers; sharing the story behind a surprise donation that had us doing a double take (and maybe a little happy dance); giving a quarterly update on Smith's Inspiring Donations contributions; and showcasing some of the beautiful blanket creations donated in July.
Stay cool, stay kind and enjoy the read!

In this month's newsletter, we're excited to share some incredible milestones, celebrate recent fundraising successes, reflect on the closure of the Box Elder County chapter, highlight a special blanket donation to Utah Royal Kids, and showcase some of the lovely blankets received in the month of June.

While summer might not typically bring blankets to mind, we know that comfort and care are always in season. Even during the warmer months, we continue wrapping our community in love with one blanket at a time.
This summer, we're once again proud to support Utah Royal Kids Camp and many other incredible organizations through our ongoing blanket donations. Thanks to your generosity, we're able to receive and distribute 200 - 300 blankets each month which is a truly remarkable impact.
In this month's newsletter, we share our ongoing commitment to quality, highlight how everyone can find a place at our Blanket Days, recap a fun event at Quilts, Etc., and showcase some of the beautiful blanket donations we received in May.
