GreaterGood has made an initial purchase of 40,000 throw blankets — for both people and pets — and baby blankets for immediate distribution for those in need. This donation was made in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine which began in February of 2022. That means with every purchase of a blanket, you re giving a blanket to someone who desperately needs it in war-torn Ukraine. The blankets donated also benefit animals in need, keeping our four-legged loved ones warm during the cold winter months.

As Ukrainians fight to regain control of their country, Russia continues to wage war and destroy infrastructure. This means long-term loss of power and heat, which is where small essentials like wool blankets can make an impact. The blankets being donated as well as the blanket you are purchasing, are made in a factory in Kharkiv, Ukraine, providing jobs and fair wages for its citizens.

Not only are the people of Ukraine getting the sustained support that comes from gainful employment, but they’re also receiving a way to fight the cold in below-freezing winter weather. With many regions still facing power outages that follow frequent bombings, the ability to stay warm this winter will be essential.
