The Homeless Remembrance Blanket Project is a unique way to show people who are unhoused that they are loved. It gives you the opportunity to knit, crochet, quilt, or loom a creation for display on December 21st. After the display ends, your donated blanket will be gently folded and delivered to persons and families in need.

The Homeless Remembrance Blanket Project was an art installation that began in Carlisle, Pennsylvania on December 21st, 2021 – the day we think, not only of those who live unstably housed, but also of those who die that way. We carried this project to Washington, DC on December 21, 2022, covering the lawn outside the Capital steps. Now, on December 21, 2023, we return to the steps of our state’s capitol.

Generous blanket makers knit, crochet, and quilt special gifts for total strangers experiencing homelessness.

The blankets are distributed to those in need.

Our sincerest thanks go out to everyone who contributes to these important efforts!
