So, we spent some time going through our neighborhood and asking people to help and we have been buying some on our own. (the charity requests new blankets only)
Well, we have been blessed to see several neighbors drop off blankets to help, which was awesome...
My mom has been taking some fleece blankets we bought and sewing them up...so she is did 4? of those great fleece blankets and our church put together packets for a "No-sew" blanket...where you cut the fabric and then tie the fleece together to create a blanket. We purchased a bunch of these kits and the kids helped put one together, and I have done one so far as well. All in all, I am pretty sure that we gave more than 30 blankets to the church over the last 4 weeks.
The church with the help of the community has collected more than 4,000 before today! WOW.
You can see our handiwork below:
