Blankets for Veterans Volunteer Signup

As part of a long running legacy program at Beach Cities Health District, volunteers knit and crochet blankets for individuals who could use some warmth and care. In honor of National Day of Service and Remembrance, Americans across the nation are united in service to their communities to honor the victims and heroes while marking the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and BCHD is offering a special volunteer opportunity to benefit veterans. Culminating on Veteran's Day, you are invited to knit or crochet a blanket of approximately 36"x48". Red white and blue colors are recommended but not required. All blankets collected by November 11th will be donated to veterans. Blankets will go to veterans in BCHD Care Management Clients, Providence Trinity Care Hospice veteran program and we would like to also connect with local veteran-serving organization who might be interested in donated blankets. Please fill out our signup form if you’re interested in making a blanket. Blankets will need to be dropped off in (or mailed to) Redondo Beach, CA and we will provide details about drop off as we finalize those arrangements. Thank you so much for your interest in supporting veterans!
