Presenting C.A.R.E. Cozies!!!

Hello All!

I'm so excited to share my new project with you! As most of you know, my platform is

C.A.R.E. -Commitment to Always Remember the Elderly. C.A.R.E. focuses on encouraging the youth to volunteer their time with the older generation. Every time I have spoken at schools and various organizations, I have had my audience create cards that were to be delivered to local nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

While speaking with a friend about advancements that I wanted to have made in my C.A.R.E. program the idea of lap blankets came up. If you have ever visited a nursing home you have probably noticed that many of the residents had blankets that fit perfectly across their laps. As we know, our elderly have a tendency to get cold a little quicker than those of younger generations. Blankets are always needed at nursing homes and other facilities geared towards the care of seniors.

Thanks to the genius mind of my friend, I had decided to take the idea of lap blankets by storm. So now I present to you...C.A.R.E. Cozies...lap blankets made or donated by someone of the younger generation for someone of the older. After the collection of these blankets, they will be delivered to all kinds of senior facilities. Whether the blanket is made or donated, it will be a wonderful gift that will provide warmth not only physically but also emotionally to the elder who owns it. This is a perfect way for the young to reach out to the old!

This past Wednesday, September 23rd, I had my youth group make C.A.R.E. Cozies. They had fun making the blankets and were so excited that they were making them for a great purpose! The blankets will be delivered next week to one of our local nursing homes.

I am so excited about my new project! I hope that it will take off and bring smiles to many faces!
