What is Blankets of Hope?

Blankets of Hope (BOH) is an educational 501(c)3 non-profit.

Our mission is to inspire a global movement of kindness – 1 student & 1 blanket at a time.

We teach kindness in schools in NYC & beyond – empowering students to donate blankets & handwritten letters to people experiencing homelessness in their community.

How does BOH work?

BOH hosts free Kindness Workshops for over 150,000 students & counting.

First, we ship blankets to schools free of charge.

Then, students participate in our virtual Kindness Workshop:

1. Students practice empathy by imagining the experience of homelessness
2. Students practice kindness by attaching handwritten letters to blankets.
3. Students practice mindfulness with a short loving-kindness meditation.

Finally, schools donate their blankets of hope to a local homeless shelter in need.

Since 2016, we’ve donated over 150,000 blankets of hope to those in need.

What is the “Adopt a School” Program?

The “Adopt a School” Program ****makes it easy for businesses to increase brand awareness by making a direct impact within their local communities.

By sponsoring a local school’s participation in BOH, you will empower students to deliver much-needed warmth to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

In return for your tax-deductible donation, you will receive the following bonuses:

• Ready-made social media content to share their impact
• 12×16” custom-made poster to display their impact
• Ready-made press kit for securing local press
