We would love to have you make blankets from home. You can order any amount of Fleece & Thank You blanket kits, have them shipped right to you (or pick them up from our facility), and ship them back once completed (or drop them off at one of our four drop-off locations).

Work with your company, community group, or family and friends to make blankets! Order FTY blanket kits, meet up at a location of your choice, and make blankets together as a group! We do 400+ events every year, and this is how we are able to provide comfort to so many kids that are sick!
