Church World Service Blanket Program

This Mother’s Day give more than a card

Your compassion in action. That’s the definition of
the CWS Blankets+ Program. This Mother’s Day
take action – give help, give hope!

Blankets + contributions gave hope and resources to
people in crisis in 2011 when:
  • Mother Nature’s harshest actions – deadly tornadoes, hurricanes, and harsh winter conditions – caused destruction and hardship here at home.
  • Refugees displaced by disaster or violence needed food and shelter.
  • Seeds and tools were needed to help Haitian families create community gardens for food security.
Your congregation or group can send a powerful message to people in tragic situations: “You matter
to us.”

We know more disasters will occur. Let’s work to put faith and compassion into action – for Mother’s Day,
Father’s Day, any day – so help is there when it’s needed most.
