Welcome Blankets Project
Welcome Blankets are made by our local community members for immigrants as a gesture of heartfelt welcome. Our blankets are mostly crocheted or knitted. Included in the display is a stitched blanket made by children from an Interfaith camp. Our grassroots group is one of many participating in a national Welcome Blanket project. Thousands of blankets have been distributed in the last decade. Each blanket is distributed with a note about the maker’s own immigrant story.
