C∙U∙D Employees Make Blankets For Children's Hospital

We set out on a mission to spread comfort and cheer to the brave little warriors at the Children's Hospital Colorado. 

Over the course of three days C·U·D employees volunteered over 160 hours of their time to craft cozy, handmade no-sew blankets for the patients of Children's Hospital.

"Blankets for patients provide a source of normalcy and comfort amidst what can be a very stressful or scary time," said Melissa Platt with Association of Volunteers. “Patients don't always have a feeling of 'choice' when it comes to their care. Giving them a say when selecting a blanket makes them feel special."

We are overwhelmed by the work that Children’s Hospital performs, and are proud to be able to play a small part in all that they do for their patients. 

At the end of the three days we made 250 blankets to donate!

We hope these blankets will bring the children warmth and hope. It's about more than just blankets, it's about the love, care, and support we can provide to our community, and make a difference where it truly matters. 

This was such a rewarding experience, and we can’t recommend it enough. If you are able, please consider donating to Children’s Hospital, whether that’s no-sew blankets or however you are able.
