Let's get the urgent part of this request out of the way! If you are mailing a blanket from out of state, PLEASE post it NOW! Our friends at the US Post Office (or UPS, FEDEX, or any other shipping company) work their little fingers to the bone this time of year—so let's try not to add any more stress to their holiday season than we have to! Here's the address for your package. Let's get it in the mail ASAP!

Memorial Blankets
SEPA Synod
7241 Germantown Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19119
Blankets arriving at this address will be lovingly cared for by our good friends at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod in Philadelphia, then added to the display at Independence Hall on December 21st.
For our local friends, we have additional requests and drop-off directions:
Memorial Blanket collection in Carlisle begins NEXT WEEK! We need to compile a list of volunteers to accept donations. We’re looking for two volunteers per day from 3:30 to 5:30 pm, December 10–20. Use the "Contact Us" button below to send us an email with your preferred dates.
If you have blankets to drop off in Carlisle, bring them to one of these lovely volunteers at the Santa House on the Square in Carlisle, PA, between 3:30 and 5:30 pm during the 11 days of collection. (Yes, we only get 11 days—unlike those pear tree folks!).
If, for some reason, you insist on having a 12th day of blanket drop-off, you’ll need to bring your blankets with you to the #memorialblanket event at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on December 21st. Bonus: that likely means you’re visiting the display!
Which brings us to our final request: We’re ordering a bus for Philadelphia on December 21st, thanks to a generous grant arranged by the lovely Lutherans who head up this project, Matthew Best and Marsha Fuller Roscoe. If you’d like a seat on the bus, let us know ASAP. We need to compile a list. DM us at our Facebook group with your phone number and email address or use the "Contact Us" button below to email us, please.
