Making Blankets for Fleece & Thank You

This month, we proudly partnered with Fleece & Thank You, an organization dedicated to providing comfort, connection, and hope to children facing illness and the families supporting them. We share in their belief in the healing power of connection, and we were excited to contribute to their mission.

Fleece & Thank You provides colorful, cozy fleece blankets to children undergoing hospital treatments, each accompanied by a personalized video message from the blanket’s maker. This unique touch allows the child to send a “thank-you” message back, creating a meaningful exchange. While a fleece blanket can’t mend a broken bone or cure an illness, it can help ease the emotional challenges of a hospital stay, brightening a child’s experience as a patient.

At EP, we were committed to making 65 blankets, each with fun patterns, vibrant colors, and, most importantly, warmth. Once completed, the blankets were sent to a sanitizing facility for proper cleaning before being delivered to children at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.

We hope these blankets bring smiles to the faces of the children who receive them, offering a bit of comfort during a difficult time. EP sends its warmest wishes to each child and their family.
