Organization Information
Mission Statement
Fleece & Thank you, a Michigan-based non-profit organization is dedicated to providing connection, comfort, and hope through its programs, services and materials to children facing illness and their families supporting them.
Description
Our signature program is our blanket-making events, remotely, virtually, and in person. We host over 400 blanket-making events every year, partnering with schools, businesses, and any group you can imagine, to help us achieve our goal of making 30,000 blankets for every child that receives inpatient hospital care. Every blanket we provide also has a personal video message attached to it from the blanket maker to the recipient in the hospital, who can then send a 'thank-you’ message back to the maker!
