It’s getting cold  – the kind of cold that chills to the bone.  Please help us keep our neighbors warm by donating to the blanket fund by December 31, 2020.

Due to Covid-19, it is not safe collect and deliver blankets from around the community the way we have since 2004.  But the need may be even greater!

Gracelidy Marrero from the Interfaith Council shared this with us in November 2020.  “In the past 2-3 months we have had an influx of new members coming into the community from other parts of NC and even some out of state that end up being homeless, sleeping outside.  At this point I feel that our demand has already gone up and will more likely continue to keep spiking as the colder months start to move in”.

In order to help with this, we are asking for financial donations to go to the Interfaith Council.  If designated to Blanket Orange County, your donation will be used to purchase blankets and deliver them to those in need.  Click on the link below, enter the dollar amount you would like to give, and in the drop-down menu for “Gift Designation”, click on “Blanket Orange County”.  Donate here.  Thank you!

Since the start of Blanket Orange County in 2004,  Blanket Orange County has collected and distributed a total of 3,565 blankets.
