3. Blanket Sunday

September 25th is Blanket Sunday, our American Baptist Women sponsor this important fundraising event each year. All monies raised as go to purchase warm blankets. The cost of one blanket is $10. Last year we raised just over $700 to provide warm blankets for those in need across the U.S. and around the world. Let's see if we can provide even more warm blankets this year.
