How Are My Financial Gifts Used
Operation Blanket is dedicated to transparent and responsible stewardship practices and works on the front-lines in order to ensure responsible spending of resources and facilitate the greatest impact possible in the lives of homeless children and their families.
100% of all proceeds goes directly to the work of Operation Blanket. No salaries or rental space is paid.
Where Can I Send My Blanket Donations
Due to the unique needs and distribution of Operation Blanket, it is difficult to send blankets to a specific location. However, we are able to provide curbside pick-ups at your home or place of business. Collection Bins are also available throughout our area where you can conveniently drop-off your new blanket. Check out 'Blanket Drive' page for locations.
How Can I Host A Blanket Drive
Operation Blanket solely depends upon the tireless efforts of volunteers, schools and business to host blanket drives in order to meet the demand for new blankets for homeless children and their families.
We currently serve Sonoma County.
If you are interested in more information about how you can volunteer and have a rewarding experience that makes a real impact in the lives of the homeless members of our community and to stay updated on opportunities you can message us to Make A Difference!
Do You Accept Used Blankets
We prefer to collect new blankets. Most families and individuals that are recipients of our blankets have typically lost so much and just to have a nice, new blanket can mean the world to them, many of whom are young children. However, we will gladly accept gently used blankets that have been freshly washed.
