A NOTE FROM BLAKE

For my mitzvah project, my family and I participated in the “Warm Wraps, Warm Hearts” program. We made blankets for seniors living in nursing homes.  Each blanket we made helped make sure that those most vulnerable in our community during the pandemic knew that they count and are important.  Older people have achieved so much for our families, our communities, and our country -- it is important that we care for them and show them how valued they are.

​

This past year was hard because during the pandemic we have all been somewhat separated from each other.  A warm and soft blanket, shirt, or sweater can help those that feel most isolated have a sense of protection and security.  Consider donating a new blanket or personal care item through Jewish Family Services at jfsdetroit.org/ways-to-give/ in support of my mitzvah project.
