High School Service Night

I held a service night March 19th at my school! Tons of people showed up and we got almost two twin blankets done. It was a great turnout:)

This last week I competed in a club at my school called FCCLA which stands for Family Career and Community Leaders of America. For my project, chapter service project manuel, I used Comfort 4 Children. The judges loved it! I received a gold and second place so I will be traveling to Orlando, Florida to spread the word! So excited:)

I shipped my first blankets last Monday. They went to Fiji to a family my brother met while on a humanitarian trip over there. I am hoping to get pictures from them as soon as they receive the blankets.

Mission Statement

My name is McKensee Harris; I am a High School student in Southern Utah. I started a charity called Comfort 4 Children.

Through my work and donations and your investment in a blanket, we provide comfort and warmth to a child less fortunate.

I personally make 2 identical blankets by earning donations of material or raising funds to purchase material and supplies to create the blankets.

One blanket is sold at retail and the matching identical blanket is then shipped to a child in need somewhere else in the world. The proceeds from the retail sale pay for the shopping and delivery of the 2nd blanket to the child in need.

When you buy a Comfort 4 Children blanket you have the option to fill out a simple postcard and when the charity blanket is shipped out to a child you will receive the postcard back with the region and country of our beautiful and wonderfully diverse world that your identical blanket is being sent.

My hope is the barriers, or of race, culture, religion, and other differences will diminish as people share an identical blanket with a child who, although less fortunate than them, will enjoy the blanket for the same reasons, comfort and warmth.
