We host three “Make a Blanket” days each year. These events are an opportunity to get together with other blanketeers in the community and make donation blankets. All materials and lunch are provided at these events. Our next event will be April 11th and 18th. Contact betsy.operationhouseblanket1@gmail.com for more details.
