We are so proud of C.J. Matthews’s for his role in fighting hunger for the past 10 years. Even in college, he intends to continue hosting The Giving Bowl, the initiative that earned him the honor of being a Hormel 10 under 20 Food Hero.

Fighting hunger has always been close to C.J. Matthews’s heart. 🧡 A few days ago, he packed microwaveable pasta meals, drinks, and nonperishable items to stock a local community refrigerator and pantry for families facing food insecurity right here in our community.

From a young age, CJ has believed that no one—especially kids—should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference, and we’re proud to continue serving others one meal, one blanket, and one act of love at a time.

If you have the ability to give, even in a small way, please do. Our communities are stronger when we take care of each other. 🫶🏾

So grateful to the community for choosing Blankies 4 My Buddies Foundation as one of four beneficiaries of their two-week Donate 1:8 Philanthropy Drive 💙

We received 99 blankets—each one a reminder of love in action, inspired by Acts 1:8.

These blankets will be distributed throughout Henry County to babies in NICU, women’s shelters, youth in foster care and those experiencing homelessness.

Thanks to classmates /teammates (Caleb, Chris, Jaden and Peyton) for helping us load them up.

Grateful to receive a “Play It Forward” Grant from Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority for 2026 in support of The Giving Bowl—a project C.J. Matthews started at just 10 years old.

This moment marks the beginning of something bigger: a year-long program focused on mentorship, leadership development, and opportunities for youth to grow, play, and of course, serve.

As CJ prepares for his next chapter in college this fall, we’re reminded that purpose grows with you.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project over the years and for continuing to believe in the work. 💙

To name a few:

Sunday vibes. Filling empty shelves, feeding hearts. 🧡

Grateful for partners like for donations of Dinty Moore stew and for the healthy snack bags. The support of donors helps us turn compassion into action.

This weekend, Team Blankies joined forces with Wish of a Lifetime for a second year to shower seniors with love for Valentine’s Day 💘🌹

We popped up everywhere we could find seniors — churches, senior living communities, facilities, senior centers — spreading smiles one rose at a time. Our goal was 500 roses… and we served 500 beautiful souls this weekend!

There is something so special about watching generations connect. Hugs. Laughter. A few happy tears. Moments that remind us why we do this work.

Thanks to any and everyone who contributed with roses, monetary donations, making a card, coloring a picture, giving a hug or handing a senior a rose. It all matters. It takes a a village.

Love doesn’t retire. And neither does purpose. ❤️

Yesterday we visited the Heritage Senior Center in Henry County during their Friday Fish Fry. Our lovely Granny Jane insisted on helping. She was too sweet, showering everyone with love for Heart Day. ❤️ We love you Granny and all the seniors out there living life like it’s golden.

Love doesn’t retire. It multiplies.

Love doesn’t have an age limit. 💛

This weekend, Blankies 4 My Buddies is proud to join in partnership with to help older adults feel seen, valued, and remembered.

Did you know that over 1 in 3 adults age 60+ experience loneliness? A simple card. A rose. A moment of connection. It may seem small — but it can mean everything.

As a youth-led organization rooted in compassion, we believe no heart should go unnoticed. Our team is honored to spread joy, deliver love, and remind our seniors that they matter.

Because whether you’re 5 or 95… everyone deserves to feel wrapped in love.

We’re distributing 500 roses!!!

This Valentine’s Day, we had a big dream. 🌹

We requested 1,000 roses for local seniors.
Due to limited funding, AARP was only able to send 250. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

But here’s the thing — we now have more volunteers than we need so we’re not shrinking the dream.

Our new goal is to gift at least 500 seniors this year. ❤️

Over 1 in 3 adults age 60+ feel lonely. A single rose and a card won’t fix everything, but it can remind someone they are seen, valued, and loved.

Delivery is February 13–15, and we’re determined to show up strong.

Let’s close the gap together. 🌹💕
