Soldiers’ Angels is a non-profit organization that provides ongoing support to Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen deployed world-wide, defending, and protecting the freedoms we cherish.
Their focus is "Helping to bring home healthy soldiers. May No Soldier Go Unloved."
Quilters can get involved by visiting the Sewing Team page and signing up. The Sewing Team creates handmade blankets to be delivered to wounded service members to bring a hug from home. Afghans and blankets are delivered to the veterans across America.
They have several projects that can use your quilting, knitting, and crochet skills. There are even No-Sew projects for the kids to complete. The projects listed are:
- Blankets of Hope - Handmade sewn and no-sew blankets for the wounded
- Blankets of Gratitude - Knitted/crocheted/loomed blankets for hospitalized veterans
- Blankets of Belief - Showing our deployed heroes, "We believe in you!" This is a seasonal effort during the holiday/winter months.
- Scarves - Simple scarves to protect and cool deployed troops
- Operation Top Knot - Sewing for infants of deployed fathers
Help support those who protect us!
