Crochet Blankets for Seniors - Canada

02/19/2023

It is with great sadness I have to announce the closure of Blankets for Seniors.
In 2014, 9 years ago, it started out as a way to help bring smiles to seniors. It flourished into a community supporting each other in so many wonderful ways. Stories, tears and hugs were shared amongst those dropping off donations as well as those receiving donations. I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone’s help and support. I’m truly honored to have been able to be a part of this initiative and to have met so many of you in the process.
Thank you to each and every one of you.

We wanted to give a big thank you to Paula Santos Pestana and her team at Himalayan Energy Spa in Downtown Bowmanville. They have been donating beautiful blankets to Crochet Blankets for Seniors - Canada for many years! Each time we go to the spa to pick up blankets my heart is overwhelmed by their kindness. If you get a chance please go and pamper yourself and get a manicure or pedicure. Thank you Paula and Himalayan Energy Spa family.

We are looking for new partnerships and / or charities to donate the Crochet Blankets for Seniors - Canada. Over the years we have donated to most of the Long Term Care Homes in Durham, Hospice and Palliative Care units . If you know of a place that supports seniors or even know of any isolated seniors that need a boost please message us!!

When we adopted our cat Bailey from Toe Beans Cat Cafe in Port Hope, we were given a blanket to take him home with. It was made by one of their volunteers. It was a very heart warming experience. We still have his blanket and we keep it on his bed. Crochet Blankets for Seniors would like to participate in a side project to make and donate some blankets for the rescue cats at Toe Beans Cat Cafe in Port Hope. If you would like to make a blanket for the cats please let us know and if you have any wool to donate please let us know. We have drop of locations in Pickering, Whitby and Bowmanville.

I spoke to the volunteer Peggy who made Baileys blanket. She gave us a few tips on what make a good animal blanket. The size is smaller aprox 21 by 22 inches or the size of an animal crate. She said she uses washable yarn and she uses 3 strands of yard with a 10 mm hook.

This is just a small side project for the group, we still continue to Crochet Blankets for Seniors - Canada and collect wool.

I have a lady wanting to make lots of blankets for us. It tremendously helps her hands by physically crocheting. Does anyone have any wool they could donate and drop off to Whitby for us?
