We need you! Persons experiencing homelessness need you! Our dedicated artisans who - each year - create handcraft quilts and afghans to form an enormous display which is later disassembled and distributed to folks in need, need you!

This year, we are committed to go to Denver. Had we foreseen the enormous cutbacks in funding to arts, poverty and housing organizations, we might have turned down the invitation and stayed closer to home.

But our blankets come from all across the nation and we need to follow through on our promise to support folks experiencing homelessness on the other side of the Mississippi as well. Especially as many unhoused people are having their shelters closed and their belongings destroyed.

We hope to remind folks that poverty causes homelessness and that people experiencing it are far more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators.

So... We need your help to get our blankets out there. For just $2.50 cents a mile, we can get our volunteers and about a thousand east coast blankets out to Denver.

We used to rely heavily on grants from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America - but they've been designated as terrorists by the people who want to crack down on homelessness - so we need to come directly to you!

Will you sponsor us a few miles? Obviously $25 bucks is 10 miles. $100 bucks is 40 miles. Hell, for $472.50 you can get us all the way to Pittsburgh. Allow me to thank you in advance for helping.

With thousands of people making blankets over the years, we know that homelessness matters to you. So please share this fundraiser, give what you can, and help us get to our goal.
