Making an impact one blanket at a time!

In four years (2008-2011), we've donated over 1,100 blankets to local DC-area charities and have promoted our efforts using various technologies. With the launch of our 2012 season, we have moved our "Blanketing DC with Love" site to a new location.

Up-to-date statistics on our yearly progress are posted under the About Us page and our Gallery area displays examples of blankets donated by year.

If you are interested in donating blankets, please visit our FAQs page or contact me directly: dcblankets [at] cybersailors.org
