Distributed every Wednesday during Chapel worship service
While going through chemo treatment at City of Hope, a former patient experienced chills (as most chemo patients do) and decided to make herself a blanket. She thought it would be an act of kindness and love to make additional blankets – all unique and different – and distribute them to other patients. She affectionately called the blankets “Covers of Love,” and the gesture became a program at City of Hope hospitals.NOTE: If your church would like to provide hand-made blankets of any size (knitted, crocheted, hand-tied or sewn) for cancer patients, we are happy to pass them along.
