For every quilt sold, Blanket America will donate a blanket to an American in need. Traditional charitable organizations act as intermediaries between fundraising and actual donated goods. Our vision is to eliminate this gap.
Blanket America is about more than blankets. It is about changing the way charity and business works. Most of all, it is about encouraging citizens to become more than consumers. We dream of a society in which people with the resources to feed themselves, clothe themselves, and shelter themselves from the cold take some responsibility, every time they make a purchase, for those who are in need.
About Blanket America
Blanket America was established on the idea that our strength is in our unity. Only through coming together can individuals make real progress and lasting change. During his inaugural speech, President Obama called on Americans of every color and creed, language and culture, to join hands against the challenges that face our country and our world. Blanket America is our response to this call to action. For every quilt sold, Blanket America will donate a blanket to an American in need.
