Orphanage - The missionaries are going to identify the needs of an orphanage serving 70 children without families. They will take Christmas cards and a homemade blanket to each of the 70 children!

City Dump - Sadly, the city dump is home to many families. The rain and wind pour through the shacks they've built for protection, and they live off the items that more fortunate people discard as trash. They desperately need basic necessities, like warm blankets and coats. The missionaries will take all that we can collect.

• Make a Fleece No-Sew Blanket - Follow our simple instructions for making a no-sew blanket.

Note: If you live outside of the Evansville area and don't want to mail your blanket, or if you have another charity that you would like to help, we encourage you to make a blanket for someone else. At Shine Brighter, we don't want to choose your charity for you. We simply want to help you help others - whoever you choose to help.
