Providing Stress Relief to Veterans Through the Weight of a Blanket
Blankets4Vets Mission is to provide a weighted blanket to every Veteran in need. After the passing of a beloved Veteran family member, Blankets4Vets was founded to support the needs of Veterans by providing relief through free weighted blankets.
- Who We Are
Blankets4Vets is a Strategic Program under our Veteran Support Initiative at Geo-Spectrum Community Development – a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
It was founded in memory of a veteran of a foreign war, loving husband and devoted father, who passed away after a hard-fought battle with cancer.
- Why Weighted Blankets?
The pressure of a weighted blanket puts the autonomic nervous system into “rest mode”, reducing some of the symptoms of anxiety and stress. This may provide an overall sense of calm to the mind and body for Veterans suffering from PTSD and related mental health issues.
- Benefits
- Pain Relief.
- Reduction of Stress and Anxiety.
- Mood Improvement.
- Reduction of Sleep Issues.
Service and Giving are our core
At Blanket4Vets we take pride in being able to show our appreciation to our Nation’s heroes. Our core is giving and our ethos guided by our beloved Veteran that passed.
“The true measure of success is by how many people you’ve helped along the way.”
