Blankets on hand in patrol cars

MVOB blankets are now carried by some police officers in the Cincinnati area. Carol, our Blanket Angel Coordinator in the area, told us how it happened.  
​
A couple of our blanket angels have talked with local police officers who are sometimes called to homes in the middle of the night for drug abuse and/or family violence and have to remove children from the home. Frequently the children, including babies, have no blankets and/or very little clothing on.

​We thought it would be helpful if the officers had blankets to wrap around the children. When a social worker comes to take the child into foster care, the blanket could go with them. When we offered our blankets, we had a very positive response from the police, and we have supplied the Greenhills Police Department with 12 blankets.
 
This is a wonderful way to put a blanket in the hands of a child at a time of great need. Great job, Cincinnati Blanket Angels!
