Support an American Tradition of Welcome
Welcome Blanket is a national nonprofit that brings people together across backgrounds to welcome refugees and other immigrants through handmade blankets and shared stories.
Each blanket is a personal gesture of care, connection, and belonging.
Why Welcome Blanket
In moments of arrival and transition, small acts of care matter.
Welcome Blanket invites people across the United States to make handmade blankets and share personal stories rooted in their own histories of migration, movement, and home. These blankets are gifted to newly arriving neighbors through refugee resettlement and community partner organizations.
Your support helps turn individual gestures of welcome into a sustained, collective practice.
