Day 5

Pregnancy resource centers offer expectant mothers a safe, healthy environment in which they can better prepare in the face of an unexpected pregnancy. One of the most in-demand items at any resource center are baby blankets, new or lightly used. These blankets help expectant mothers get excited about the arrival of their new baby and help them create a safe, warm environment in which their child can grow and be appropriately cared for.

Today, we invite participants of the #YouMatter initiative to use their talents and crochet or tie baby blankets to donate to a local pregnancy resource center. Google "how to tie a baby blanket," "how to crochet a baby blanket," or follow a pattern you already have. You can also click on the links below for a video tutorial:
