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.
