Blankets+ Program -- more important now than ever!

What is the CWS Blankets+ Program?

Blankets+ is a special mission opportunity that can involve all ages.  Some 8,000 congregations and groups across the U.S. hold CWS Blankets+ events, providing funds to help people in need around the world, including the U.S.

 Special CWS Blankets+ Hotline, highlighting the kinds of things your gifts make possible.

For over 60 years, Church World Service has worked in partnership with local communities to identify their needs and access the resources they need to build the foundation for a more viable future, including:

• Blankets, tents, food and other emergency supplies in the wake of a disaster
• Tools and seeds for refugees returning home to replant their fields  
• Wells for families living in drought prone areas to provide clean, safe water to drink and to irrigate crops and gardens
• Literacy training and microcredit for women struggling to realize their potential.

 You're the plus in Blankets+!
