KINDNESS CARDS for 1st Responders Video Examples

Kindness Cards

A video recap of the KINDNESS CARDS we delivered during the 2020 pandemic.

Kindness Cards - 2020 Examples

Take a quick peek at some of the cards that were given in 2020 for a great example of what to create today!

Create "No-Sew" Blankets to Give Comfort To Others

Gather Supplies

Gather together soft fleece (anti-pill) material and spend time creating a soft, comforting blanket to donate.  Our blankets range in different sizes.  A common size is 1.5 yards by 1.5 yards of fabric.  You will also need a ruler and scissors.  That's it!

Volunteer Opportunity From Home

This is a great family project to work on together.  For us, some blankets took us around 40 minute's to complete.  Any hours spent on this at home can be signed off for service hours by KIDS CARE when the blankets are given to us.

Our Programs

We typically have different programs running throughout the year and the blankets can benefit these programs or they may be delivered on a special as need basis as we monitor our communities' needs.

Our Impact

In collaboration with Building Strong Horizons, we have donated 134 no-sew blankets to children battling cancer at CHOA Scottish-Rite in Atlanta.  We look forward to giving more comfort to other vulnerable populations.  Perhaps even gifting some blankets to our local homeless community members.  You can watch a short video on our YouTube channel to see us at work:  https://youtube.com/shorts/TTW19pch6Yw?feature=share

Contact Us

Have a question or want to get in touch? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us today and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.  We can also arrange for a pick up or meet for a delivery of your generous donations.
