Church World Service Blankets bring comfort, care and hope to someone facing a difficult moment. Every blanket shared tells a neighbor, “You’re cared for.” Please consider donating to our May Special Offering using the Donate link above.

Church World Service was born in the wake of the devastation of World War II. Seventeen Christian denominations came together “to do in partnership what none of us could hope to do as well alone.” In our early days, the CWS family mobilized more than 11 million pounds of food, clothing and medical supplies for war-torn Europe and Asia. In the United States, we began to welcome refugees who were looking to start new lives in safety, resettling more than 100,000 refugees in our first 10 years. Over the decades, the specifics of our programs have shifted and evolved. The CWS family has grown. And our foundation of collaboration and welcome has remained unshakable. We proudly serve as the toolbox that our neighbors near and far use to build healthy, dignified and safe lives. As followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbors – especially in their time of need. A simple blanket becomes a holy offering: warmth on a cold night, peace after disaster, and a reminder that no one is forgotten by God. Blankets are more than just supplies – they offer real hope when families need it most. Each one brings comfort and reminds someone they’re “wrapped in God’s love.”
