Blankets of Love began about four years, a year after my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The first year I thought it would be great to take up knitting since my Mom always loved to knit and thought we could share something special together but I quickly found out knitting was not for me. So I took my yarn and gave it to the ladies at my Mom's senior center and they made blankets, scarves and warm hats. We had about two dozen or so and I went to a local nursing home and gave it to people there. The following year was about the same but then last year I decided to reach out via media social and had an amazing turn out of donations and attendance at a local nursing home.
This year seems to be turning out to be more amazing than last year, we have had a great response and looking forward to expanding this event to include Christmas caroling. We also will be having a local girls scout troop will be attending.

Thank you,
Gina
