Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good


"When consumers buy from Blanket America, not only are they generating automatic donations, but supporting our larger commitment to ending extreme poverty. " (http://www.blanketamerica.com/about-us) This is the goal of the non-profit organization called Blanket America with the help of another non-profit organization called Gifts in Kind International. Blanket America runs the "Buy 1, Give 1" where if a person buys a blanket, quilt, bed sheets, towels off their website they will donate 1 item to a family in need. This is a huge organization, who is open to any company that is willing to work with them. "Large companies have already shown their support for this program. Online sites Amazon.com and QVC.com have already made these patch work heritage quilts available online for those who would want to buy them." (http://ezinearticles.com/?Reaching-Out-to-the-Americans---Blanket-America&id=3838929) Blanket America's reach does not just end in America, but they extended their hand to Haiti. "With choose Haiti, Blanket America is workjing to create sustainable jobs for the people of Haiti - an essential component to the country's economic recovery." (http://www.pr.com/press-release/296816) Blanket America is doing an amazing job in helping the people around the world, giving to those who are less fortunate or who were caught up in a disaster.
