Volunteer: Make Tie Blankets

Help make tie blankets for the youth we serve! These blankets will be given out during Street Outreach, where we go to camps and bring supplies to those in need, as well as to youth who are moving into our facilities, many without any possessions of their own. Help keep our youth warm and feeling loved!


• Volunteer group size: unlimited (2-4 volunteers can cut and tie 1 blanket per hour)
• Volunteer hours: Varies
• Company financial resources needed: Organization would need to supply the fabric and scissors. Fabric for one blanket start at around $8 and increase depending on fabric patterns and size.

 

Please contact our Community Engagement Coordinator, Gabe Tena, to coordinate a time to drop off your tie blanket.
