This Mother’s Day, Give More Than a Card

Church World Services, an affiliate of CRIS, is implementing a program both nationally and internationally, called Blankets+. Consider contributing to this program, and letting mothers in difficult situations know, “You matter to us!”Your compassion in action. That’s the definition of the CWS Blankets+ Program. This Mother’s Day take action – give help, give hope!In 2011, Blankets+ contributions gave hope and resources to people in crisis when: •Deadly tornadoes devastated communities all across the U.S. •Refugees displaced by disaster or violence needed food and shelter. •Hurricane Irene hit the East Coast, causing widespread flooding and power outages. •Seeds and tools were needed to help Haitian families create community gardens for food security. •Harsh Midwest winter storms put homeless people in danger of freezing.We know more disasters will occur. Let’s work together to act — on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, any day – so help is there when it’s needed most.Plan your Blankets+ offering now. Order your Blankets+ resources today.
