Assisteo Hospice (Phoenix, AZ) provides 'end of life’ care to military Veterans and their families throughout the greater Phoenix metro area.

We love the opportunity to care for and honor these soldiers, sailors and airmen by providing top-notch hospice services. One of the ways we honor our Veteran patients is presenting them with a military branch-themed fleece blanket when they come on service with us. These blankets not only honor these Heroes, bringing lots of smiles, but are also practical, providing warmth and comfort. When the patient passes, their blanket goes to their family as a memento.

Typically these blankets are made in batches (10-25 at a time) through companies, organizations, etc., as part of a Team Building/Serve Day Event. Assisteo Hospice is currently in need of U.S. Navy blankets.

* These blankets are typically fleece, print on top and a flat color for the back (ie. black)
* They are tie (no-sew) blankets
* Fleece comes in U.S. Navy print
* Blankets are typically about 4 ft. x 5 ft., folded and wrapped in a ribbon

Making these blankets is a fantastic opportunity for a Team-Building event and assured to be an encouragement for all.

If you are interested and/or have questions, please reach out.

Thank you!
