Little did Mr. and now Mrs. Santa know that 5 years ago, one cart of blankets would turn into multiple car and truck loads.
We may not be able to collect blankets this year, but the spirit is just as alive in 2020 as it was from the spark of this initial visit to pick up some blankets. A simple gesture of kindness for someone else may not show or be as visible in a way the giver expects. We can tell you from hundreds of interactions that the donation of time to visit and the gift of a simple blanket impacts more than just the the donor and a recipient. Your donations also has a direct impact on our volunteers, the staff at each location, and every person who learns about this work we all do each year.
ALL OF THE SUCESS AND GIFTS OF HOPE AND LOVE TO DATE WERE NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS AND DONORS. You all are the reason over 1,500 blankets have been collected over the years. We may not collect and distribute this year, but hope this picture of the first recorded shopping for blankets warms your heart this year.
While we are not able to collect blankets this year, we still are collecting funds via our PayPal link on WWW.TENDERHEARTZ.COM and every dollar will go to keeping the program alive and afloat until next year. We understand you may not have the resources this year, but if you do and are willing, a donation will be greatly appreciated.
