February is the month that PW collects donations for BLANKET THE WORLD WITH LOVE.  These blankets are quite strong and can be doubled in half and even used as a stretcher.  In some disaster areas, people have used them to fashion a tent!  Wherever an emergency or natural disaster strikes at home or abroad, these blankets are a great comfort and a symbol of hope for those people who have lost everything.

This PW mission is through CWS-Church World Service of which the PC(USA) is a partner along with many other denominations.  Phyllis Josephson, a PW World Service team member, coordinated the program.  To promote this program Alice Lechiara created a lovely poster which was displayed with a blanket and a little pink ribbon in the Son Light Rotunda.  We gave out the ribbons FREE for a donation. Even the men were wearing them.  A blanket costs $5, and this year we collected $247.  Genesis partnered with us, and the kids enjoyed donating their coins at Logos during the month!  These middle school kids contributed $25 of our total.  Thanks to all who helped us provide 49 blankets for the world with your love.
