Central Cambria Middle School Students Help Others Stay Warm!

Blanket Initiative

Region #6 of the Homeless Children's Initiative asked school districts from the coverage area to put together No Sew Blankets. These blankets would be donated to the homeless shelters in Armstrong, Cambria, Blair, Indiana and Jefferson counties. Families enter the shelters for many reasons, house fires, domestic violence, eviction, loss of employment to name a few. Children, at any age, need to have something that makes them feel more comfortable whether that be for warmth or security. This is why the project of the blanket was chosen for the project. CCMS students completed blankets to donate to this worth-while cause.javascript:void(0)
