Dear friends,<\/p>\n

Your congregation has always been attentive to the least of these – and we\u2019ve been so grateful that you include us as a partner in your mission to care for others. Through your CWS Blankets gifts, you\u2019ve faithfully provided warmth and stability to those in need over the past\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

Given your heart for ministry, we wanted to keep you posted about\u00a0our most recent response<\/a>\u00a0to Hurricane Harvey. It is yet another humbling example where, because faith communities like yours mobilize, we are able to respond quickly.
