To better understand volunteering for March of the Blanketeers. This site was born!
Child and Teen sized blankets should measure between a 4.5 foot wide BY 5 foot long rectangle and a twin sized blanket.
Cards
Cards must be handmade, by you, the volunteer. Store bought cards are NOT acceptable!
-
Must open like a greeting card does, versus a postcard which does not open.
-
No envelopes, nor origami!
-
You can use our coloring pages on our Pinterest page: HTTPS://Pinterest.com/Motblankets {that is optional, however.}
-
Do not put anything "springy" on or in the cards, nor buttons, beads, food, or anything a child can pick off and aspirate on.
-
Never say, "Get Well Soon!" or anything to that affect, as many of our recipients will never "get well soon," and we do not want to remind any of our recipients of their ailments.
-
Cards must be cheerful by nature.
-
Do not depict: the devil, demons, death, suicide, drug/Alcohol references, profanity, anything vulgar/gorey, swaticaz, white supremacy ideals, Racial Slurs, syringes, nothing frightening even on Halloween (All Hallow's Eve, Samhain), hate symbols, Also, do not curse (including the definition of a female dog, and a beavers home) even if you are replacing a normal word for a curse word such as, "Fudge You!"
