Cover Them with Love Emergency Sleeping Bag Drive.

Winters in Central Arkansas are brutal, it is wet & sometimes freezing cold. Velveteen Rabbit Project held a one month "listening session"with people experiencing homelessness throughout the Little Rock area in Arkansas. We focused on the people near Freeway exist and at gas stations in the daytime, come to find out Homeless People are sleeping in the woods at night, In the cold without blankets or anything. When I would have a conversation with individuals experiencing homelessness, I would give them my card and Food and I ask them to call me if they need anything. After the first rain. I received a call early in the morning,, asking me, for blankets. I quickly pulled out four moving blankets from my move to Arkansas and dropped them off.

I took a listening tour, to come up with our 1st fundraiser idea for Central Arkansas. A person experiencing Homeless called me after the 1st rain and ask me for some blankets. I said to myself that's it! So, I had a meeting with our advisory Board Members. They told me everyone gives blankets Velvet! Blankets get wet and heavy. Plus, they are hard to carry around when their wet. Why not emergency blankets one of the Board members said? So, I checked into Emergency blankets. Then something told me to see if there is a such thing as Emergency Sleeping Blankets! Walla! Cover them with love Campaign was born. Help us give out 500 blankets this Winter to Homeless Individuals sleeping in Central Arkansas woods! It's cold outside!
