Happy New Year Blanketeers,
I hope that everyone enjoyed
a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!
With the help of our generous
Blanketeers many Agencies have benefited with new handmade blankets that have
brought comfort to children in need in 2023. In fact we delivered over 1,400
blankets in the 4th quarter alone. That is only made possible by
your continued support.

Care Centers, Nurse Family Partnership, Title 5, International Institute,

National Make a Blanket Day-
February 17TH, 2024
New handmade blankets can be
dropped off on this day at all of our drop off locations that were stated
above. This is a drop off location event ONLY.
Odds and Ends:
-
We are still in need of Boy blankets- All sizes and types ( knitted, crocheted,
quilted and fleece tied)
Reminders:
-
When knitting or crocheting an afghan please be aware of the needle size and
yarn weight, so that your finished item isn’t too loose or “holey”, due to
little fingers and hospital equipment.
-
Project Linus blankets are new handmade blankets
Looking
Ahead:
February 17th
2024 - National Make a Blanket Day
August 13th 2024
- Erie Gives Day
