Blanket America Program is a Call to Action

The Blanket America Program offers Americans the opportunity to own a piece of history and help the less fortunate. This program is inspired by President Obama’s inaugural speech to offer the special Patchwork Heritage Quilt to commemorate this message and provide 1,000,000 blankets to the homeless.

The nation has been inspired by this message to come together in support of our country and to help the struggling families and individuals around us. More information will soon be available at www.blanketamerica.com. This is the opportunity to make a difference and also enjoy a keepsake patchwork quilt to remember your generosity.

This beautiful patchwork quilt comes in three sizes and is crafted of 13 different fabrics to represent the 13 original colonies. The back features a lady liberty graphic with the President’s Inaugural Speech in stunning color. Each purchase of this quilt will provide a blanket to the less fortunate families, to be distributed by Gifts In Kind International.

The quilt is an American tradition, symbolizing the blending of heritage, ethnicities, and talents throughout our nation. Practical, warm, and made from all the tiny pieces, a quilt is a work of art that warms the heart. From the earliest days, we have made and shared these homemade blankets to spread warmth to those we care about.

Purchasing a Blanket America quilt will fill you with warmth, from inside and out. This beautiful item will decorate your room and show your support for the diversity and strength of this country. Knowing that you’ve provided a warm blanket for someone less fortunate is the comfort from inside.

Available as a throw, queen, or king size quilts, with optional pillow shams and decorative pillows to match, the price ranges from $19.99 to $99.99. Packaged with the quilt are a car magnet for community awareness and an informational booklet outlining the details of the program and website information.

A website has been obtained and will be ready shortly, allowing customers to share stories and thoughts on the project. Part of the enjoyment of this sharing project will be the sense of community and strength experienced at www.blanketamerica.com.

President Obama highlighted our patchwork heritage as one of the strengths of our nation. Supporting this program in that spirit will make a real change for the 35 million Americans living in poverty this year. Watch for more information coming soon.

Blankets- Blankets For The Needy

Charity begins at home

A new program makes it possible to practice this rule and help the underprivileged while enjoying the warm feeling of generosity wrapped in your own patchwork quilt. Blanket America, inspired by President Obama’s vision of our patchwork America, brings this vision to life.

With each purchase of a Blanket America patchwork quilt a donation of a warm blanket will be made to the needy. This is made possible through a partnership with Gifts In Kind International. Further details will be available at www.blanketamerica.com soon.

The key is a piecework quilt comprised of many fabrics, symbolizing the blending of cultures and beliefs to create a stronger America. Beautiful and practical, the patchwork quilt is an American tradition of generosity, with women coming together to create warm bedding from the pieces available. These quilts were then gifted to one of the women or a needy family in the area.

You can carry on this tradition with your purchase of one of these quilts from Blanket America, keeping the lovely quilt while a donation is made of another blanket for each one purchased. Quilts are available as a throw, Queen, or King size with prices ranging from $59.99 to $99.99. Matching pillow shams and decorative throw pillows are also available.

Sizes are as follows:
Throw 60” x 70”
Full/Queen 90” x 90”
King 104” x 90”

President Obama’s January 20th address to the nation was a call to all Americans to help one another and to find the unity and compassion to weather these times. Only by working together through programs such as this can we succeed. The president highlighted our “patchwork heritage” as one of the characteristics that will lead us through hard times.

Also included with the quilt for those who participate is a Blanket America car magnet featuring the patchwork pattern in the shape of the United States. Displaying this magnet on the go, and your new quilt in your home, will help to spread the word about this mission to provide one million blankets to the needy this year.

Sown together for the common good, this quilt is backed with the President’s Inaugural Speech in its entirety, commemorating our patchwork heritage. It is a wonderful way to show our united spirit in helping the less fortunate.

This project is sure to be a popular and well-recognized way to show your pride and patriotism while supporting the message of strength through unity. Watch for your chance to be a part of Blanket America.

Blankets-Patchwork Quilts Make a Real Difference for Needy Americans
Patchwork Quilts Make a Real Difference for Needy Americans

A new program is making available the Patchwork Heritage Quilt, a keepsake commemorative which will provide warmth to two families. Blanket America is gearing up to provide over 1,000,000 blankets to the poor and underprivileged this year with your help.

This program is in support of President Obama’s message honoring our patchwork heritage. In the Inaugural speech the president gave Americans a call to action to use this strength to bond together and help one another. Our nation is made strong by the diversity and sense of responsibility for our fellow man, bringing us through crisis by caring for one another. That is the spirit of the Blanket America Program.

Through a partnership with Gifts In Kind International, Blanket America will allow each purchase to provide a blanket to the less fortunate here in our country. www.blanketamerica.com will be the center point for this movement, allowing blanket owners to share thoughts, wishes, and stories as the movement grows. The goal is to provide one million blankets this year.

A quilt is a melting pot of fabrics and threads, coming together to make something stronger and more useful than each piece alone. Using 13 fabrics to represent the original 13 colonies, this quilt is beautiful testimony to the united spirit of this program. The back of the quilt features the President’s Inaugural Speech, highlighting the words that inspired this program.

Also available are decorative pillows, a throw, and pillow shams to complete the set. Coming with the quilt is a 14 page booklet and a lovely car magnet shaped like the United States, with the patchwork design. This is another way to enjoy being part of the community of Blanket America. These magnets will be a mobile way to show you are a piece of the patchwork.

For each Blanket America Patchwork Heritage Quilt purchased, another blanket will be provided to the needy, making this an excellent investment in the future. The decorative throw retails for $59.99, Queen quilt is $79.99, and King size is $99.99. There is no additional cost to provide the gift blanket to those who need it.

These quilts are expected to be a well-recognized sign of unity and compassion, the patchwork heritage that keeps America strong. For more information on this mission of change, watch www.blanketamerica.com and the news, and get involved, wrap up in your quilt, and enjoy the warm feeling of helping others.

New Organization Has the Poor Covered

Blanket America, a newly formed organization with the purpose of helping those below poverty, will be offering warmth to the helpless this winter. The organization was started because of the founders’ recognition that too many people in this country are left out in the cold each winter with little or nothing to keep them warm or help them avoid getting sick.

In order to help those in need of warmth this winter, Blanket America will provide blankets to anyone who’s unfortunate so they can stay warm, dry, and healthy. The organization has set a big goal for its first year in existence of one million blankets and wants to distribute as many blankets as possible to people all over the United States as it tries to meet the huge goal the organization’s founding members have set for themselves.

Considering that “approximately 3.5 million people, 1.35 million of them children, are likely to experience homelessness in a given year” (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, 2007), with roughly 13 to 17% living below the federal poverty line at any given point in time, and roughly 40% falling below the poverty line at some point within a 10 year time span (^ Zweig, Michael (2004) What’s Class Got to do With It, American Society in the Twenty-first Century. ILR Press) the members of the new Blanket America organization will definitely have their work cut out for them. Members of Blanket America say they’re excited to start giving out blankets to the overwhelming number of people who’ll need the organization’s help to keep warm this winter and in future winters as well.

More details will be forthcoming as other charities get involved with actual distribution.
