Helping those in their time of need
While we all want to help out, it is sometime hard to help, know how to help, or know where to find those that really need help. I am lucky that I have friends and family that are a great support.
Through out meeting and greeting with many different people, I have been added to many lists of ways to help or spread the word, so I thought it would be nice to add a section to my site.
If something interests you, feel free to reach out to them, if not - thanks for taking the time to look. I will update this page as I get information & shoud you have an organization or know of a legit way and would like it added to the site, please let me know & it will get posted.

For the Love of Peyton Blanket Party - Sat Oct 15
This came through in an email from Doing Good Together
For The Love of Peyton Blanket Party
Date/Time: Saturday, October 15, 6:30-10pm
Location: Transfiguration Lutheran Church, 11000 France Avenue S, Bloomington
The inspiration for the Blanket Party was a hand-tied blanket given to Peyton Bocklage during his treatment for cancer. We are continuing the tradition of bringing comfort, hope and love to others through the making and distribution of hand-tied blankets Volunteers meet once a year to make as many hand-tied fleece blankets as possible in one evening. Last years' blankets were donated to local organizations such as: Safe Haven for Youth, House of Charity, The Family Place, Alexandra House, MN Indian Women's Resource Center, Gillette Children's Hospital, People Serving People, Soujner Shelter, St. Josephs Home for Children, Bridge for Runaway Youth, Families Moving Forward, and Hospice-Minnesota. You DO NOT need to know how to sew to make the blankets. All you need to do is cut fabric and tie a knot.
What to bring: Fleece; it takes 3 yards (2 pieces @1.5 yards each) per child sized blanket and 5 yards (2 pieces @2.5 yards each) for each teen/adult sized blanket, and a pair of sharp scissors. Please invite all your friends to share in this event!!
Ages: 12 and older
Time Commitment: As little or as much time as you wish
