Holy Families seeks to foster intentional community and support for those in the community who have walked through the path of infertility, miscarriage/pregnancy loss, fostering, and adoption.  This ministry seeks to serve in an advocacy role, educational component, and spiritual enrichment within each community separately and wholey. Holy Families is entrusted to the patronage of the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and the Christ-child, the most perfect example of a holy family.

Blanket drive for vulnerable children

Needing to be removed from their homes here in Montgomery County.

This was a recent need that was shared with the Holy Families Ministry by the local DCS office.

Blankets offer warmth but also serve to give vulnerable children a sense of security and comfort.  Wrapping themselves in a blanket, especially when handmade provides them with a much needed hug.  Take it one step further attaching a note and prayer giving the blanket hug an even more personal meaning to them.

Consider using your creative talents through sewing, scrap quilting, knitting, crocheting or no sew/fleece tie blankets.  Give these children an extra loving hug with your homemade blanket at a most traumatic time in their lives.  The no sew blankets provide an opportunity for even children to participate, allowing them to support other children.

Ages of children that may have to be removed vary, so a variety of sizes are needed, up to a twin size.  Don’t forget the middle school and teenage children that are most often forgotten.

Want to participate but unable to get out?  Contact us for a supply drop off and/or blanket pickup.  Don’t let COVID keep you from giving a child a hug.

Not creative?  All blankets are welcome, even purchased.  Supplies to make blankets are also welcome to be shared with anyone interested.  

May is Foster Care Awareness Month

We will collect for the Blanket Drive through the end of May.  

There will be a box in the coat room just off the gathering area for blankets or supplies.

Please place blankets in a bag to help keep them clean and germ free.  

A secondary drop off location will be at 

“In His Time Books & Gifts”, 113 S. Main St., Crawfordsville, 

during their regular business hours.
