Time to Make The Blankets Those wonderful crisp nights are back, and it feels great to cozy up with a nice, warm blanket....if you are lucky enough to have one.....I've been delivering quilts, afghans and fleece blankets to families in need, and could sure use some help. Our volunteers are running low on supplies such as fabric, batting and yarn. If you are unable to make a blanket, would you be willing to purchase some supplies or a gift card? We would so appreciate your help. Thanks for your consideration. Maureen |

If you are not the crafty type, see our Wish List below. Many times a volunteer is retired, on a fixed income, and has a great desire to craft blankets for children. Yet, they do not have the financial resources to do so. With the yarn and fabric donations received by our chapter, we are able to provide these crafters with all the supplies they need to make a blanket. We are thrifty Yankees who seek out clearance sales, use coupons, and stretch every single dollar that is donated. Not one penny is wasted, so your donations result in the crafting of beautiful blankets of love for children in need.
Quilt Batting (either bags or rolls--we use it all)
Machine washable knitting yarn in child friendly colors
Polar fleece yardage --1 1/2 yard pieces up to 2 yard pieces.
We love the fleece blankets kits available at Joann Fabrics--watch for their half price sales. We use these for blanket making days for middle school students
Postage stamps; mailing labels; envelopes, packing tape
DRIVERS!!! We need help with deliveries to our recipient organizations. If you like to drive---we need you!!
Gift Cards to craft stores or supercenters that carry craft items
