Receiving Blankets Warms Hearts
Series: Hurricane Helene ReliefWith many Hurricane Helene survivors still without power and facing freezing nighttime temperatures, Tzu Chi volunteers in North Carolina knew heavy eco-blankets would need to be distributed as soon as possible. Following a delivery of 500 blankets from Tzu Chi USA’s New Jersey Office, the team worked alongside a local organization of veteran volunteers to distribute the blankets in multiple locations. “I think a blanket is symbolic of love, and as our temperatures last night got below freezing, they’ll be below-freezing tonight… Knowing somebody cares… it’s like a warm hug,” reflected one Bakersville resident named Valerie Schnaufer.
