Creators, start your needles (or sewing machines or crochet hooks)! We need your blankets! In a little more than 6 months, the cold will be back upon the northern hemisphere and people experiencing homelessness all across the nation will be doubling down, trying to survive.
Homelessness isn't just physically painful. It's emotionally exhausting and intellectually draining. It's a horribly lonely feeling and plagues all ages, from infancy to elderly.
Your handmade blankets provide warmth, and they carry a message. The message is, "You matter."
Want a little company and extra incentive to speed you on your way? Join us for the blanket-in-a-day event on June 28th from 9am to 3 pm at Carlisle Summerfair at Dickinson College Campus, 60 S. College Street / W High Street. We'll be putting those needles or hooks together to create squares that will later be assembled into a blanket made to wrap an unhoused person in handmade love.
Thank you for what you're doing. Your kindness matters more than you know.
