Wow! February may have been a short month, but it was certainly a busy one! We received an incredible 314 blankets this month, which might just be a chapter record!

November Newsletter 2024

Welcome November, the month of giving thanks and counting our blessings.  I want to tell you how busy we've been making, receiving and delivering blankets again this month, but it's becoming our normal!  Again this month we've received and donated about 200 blankets.  We've received blankets from our regular dedicated blanketeers and have received donations from those wanting to give back.

As we embrace the spirit of giving thanks this month, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation to all of you.  Your support has made a tremendous difference, and in this newsletter we are excited to share an update on Smith's Inspiring Donations, messages we've received and pictures of some of our blanket donations.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Warm regards,
