Our Blanket Angels have delivered blankets to foster care organizations in every state in the U.S., as well as Alberta, Canada and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
We are always working to partner with new organizations where our supporters can deliver blankets to social workers and others who will place them in the hands of children in foster care. |
Thank you guys so much! Your blankets mean the world to our kiddos, and it’s amazing to see them light up and how cute they are!

Ready to deliver your blankets?
Below is a list of foster care children’s services & agencies we currently partner with to deliver handmade blankets to children in foster care across the United States, in Canada and in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. We are always working to find more locations!
Don't see a location near you? Agency not returning your calls? Help us find an agency near you. You could contribute even more by taking a little time to help us find a local children’s services organization, as you are more familiar with your area. When we are looking for an agency in an area we aren't familiar with, we “Google” foster care in the county where you live and then do a little research on their website to find contact information.
You can then reach out to them, ask to speak to a caseworker and let them know you have partnered with our charity to support them in the work they do by donating blankets they can give to the children in foster care.
It may be helpful to let them know that the new handmade blankets do not cost anything, and they do not have to fill out any paperwork. Caseworkers often think there is a “catch” to our kindness!
If you could take that step, you would be helping us expand our network of children's services agencies all over the U.S. And if you find a new location, please let us know so we can add them to our website for others to help support!
Do you already work with a foster care agency near you that isn't on our list?
Great! Please let us know and we will add them to our partnership list!
• Another option is to donate directly to Comfort Cases, a charity located in Rockville, MD, or My Stuff Bags in Westlake Village, CA. Both organizations provide backpacks or duffel bags filled with comfort and personal care items, including blankets, to children entering foster care.
