Kiawah Cares - Made With Love has as its mission to provide warmth and comfort to the underserved and underappreciated on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands (JI/WI). Providing the fleece-tie blankets to those in law enforcement who serve citizens on those islands fits perfectly in that mission. The American flag-themed fleece-tie singlelayer blankets were given to the sheriffs/deputies who serve JI/WI, and KICA Security. Thirty-four of the blankets will be kept in the law enforcement cars. After using the blankets with any one with whom they serve, the officers will take the blanket to the station to wash and dry, returning it to their car. There will be times – like when homeless are encountered or there is a fire – that the officers will have the person they encounter keep the blanket. Therefore, there are16 blankets for the JI/WI sheriffs to have in reserve to replace when the blanket is actually given to the needy resident to keep.
Many thanks to all the wonderful volunteers for supporting this project!
