Blanket America uses a unique BUY 1, GIVE 1 charity model, donating a blanket to the needy for every item purchased.

"For shoppers, Blanket America is a big win-win. We offer high-quality blankets, sheets and other textiles at low prices that fit any budget, and we match every purchase with a donation to a needy organization or individual. With Blanket America, shoppers can help others by helping themselves, one blanket at a time," said Elizabeth Brown, co-founder of Blanket America.

Available at http://www.BlanketAmerica.com, Blanket America's inventory features a wide selection of high quality items at budget friendly prices, including blankets, bedding, window treatments and towels.
