The DWF of FCC Wellington reported a donation of $1140 in their participation in the Church World Service 2022 Blanket Sunday event.
Their offering, along with others around the world, provided 51,810 fleece blankets, 16,950 heavy blankets, 83,760 hygiene kits, 33,240 school kits and 4,642 cleanup buckets.
More than $2.5 million in goods were shipped to various parts of the world suffering from disasters through this event.
When difficult times happen, a kind and loving response can make all the difference. That’s why the CWS Blankets program was created—to give a kind, loving and tangible response to someone facing a difficult time, reminding them that they are not alone.
Through the generosity of CWS partner organizations, congregations and individual supporters, our most vulnerable neighbors around the world can feel safe and keep warm with fresh linens and clean sleeping quarters.
