More than 25 years ago, Peter Moubayed, NorthEast Fleece, owner, started \u201cFleece for Peace,\u201d to assist in humanitarian and disaster relief efforts around the country and the world. Partnering with charities and organizations such as The Red Cross, The Salvation Army and the National Guard, along with hospitals, churches and shelters, NorthEast Fleece\u2019s blankets have served people everywhere.\u00a0They\u2019ve comforted COVID patients and victims of the\u00a0recent California wildfires, floods and hurricanes as well as the homeless.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen COVID hit and the whole country, including my business, was suddenly shut down, I put my head in my hands. I thought, \u2018We need hope!\u2019 Then the image flashed in my mind \u2013 \u2018Hope\u2019 on a beautiful blanket. It was a simple message that would not only warm people, but\u00a0lift their spirits\u00a0too,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The blankets boast these words of encouragement in bright white lettering printed on a beautiful sky-blue backdrop. The blankets come in a twin\/cot size and are thermal, soft\u00a0and\u00a0individually-sealed.<\/p>\n

With no end in sight for domestic crises as well as\u00a0those\u00a0abroad, NorthEast Fleece has ramped up its giving program. For every \u201cHope\u201d or \u201cFaith\u201d blanket donated, the company will match it and ship free to the charity of the giver\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy doing this, we\u2019re able to double the\u00a0aid,\u201d Moubayed says.<\/p>\n
