What is Project Warm-Up?
In 2006, we hosted our very first event with 20 Lincoln High School students. Since then, thanks to our amazing community, Project Warm-Up has grown to include blanket makers across the community and beyond! Over the years, we’ve distributed more than 40,000 new fleece blankets to children and families in need within the Sioux Empire!!
Our blankets bring warmth to those experiencing poverty, homelessness, illness, loss, foster care transitions, and more. Recipients include every SFSD school and many organizations like Child’s Voice, Ronald McDonald Houses, Avera Children’s Hospital, Habitat for Humanity, St. Francis House, and many others. This summer, hundreds of blankets were delivered to victims of the devastating flooding in Dakota Dunes, Rock Valley, Canton, McCook Lake, Spencer, and more.
Project Warm-Up exists solely upon the generosity of others. People donate funds, fleece and/or time. We have gotten pretty savvy in our fleece shopping and can make a child-sized blanket for $12. A donation of $100 would enable us to wrap eight children in the warmth and comfort of a new blanket. Imagine what a larger donation could do! Our goal is to make at least 3,000 blankets this year! The need is great, but we are ready to meet the challenge! Your donation is tax deductible.
Consider hosting a blanket party of your own!
