We will be conducting three "Make a Blanket Prep Days" each year. These occasions allow community members to join forces with other blanketeers to create donation blankets. All materials will be available at these events. The next one is set for August 14th and 15th. Please note that these are drop-in events. You can either stay for the full duration or come by for as long as you are able. More details can be found below. You may also contact us if you are interested in making blankets outside of the scheduled tying events. betsy.operationhouseblanket1@gmail.com
