We were overwhelmed by the response in February when we asked for donations of clean blankets for our refugee resettlement program. We've had several large families come in since then, and our shelves are bare. If you have spare blankets -- especially twin size -- we hope you'll consider donating them. Clean/recently laundered means we don't have to spend money prepping them for distribution. 🥰Thank you!
