Sackcloth and Ashes

Bob Dalton, founder of Sackcloth and Ashes, was inspired to help the homeless population when his mother found herself living on the streets in 2013. After this, he wanted to find out what most homeless people need most. The answer to this: blankets. From thus, Dalton wanted to start a company where he could make blankets, yet give to the homeless in this process. With this, he decided to donate a blanket to a homeless shelter for each blanket purchase. These blankets are produced in Italy and made from recycled materials, while being produced in a water free, dye free and chemical free environment. With this, you can see that Sackcloth and Ashes cares about the comfort and durability of these blankets that are not only going to customers, but to homeless shelters as well!

Sackcloth and Ashes’s mission is to “Blanket to the United States. Our goal is to donate one million blankets to homeless shelters by our 10 year anniversary, June 1st, 2024.” This company donates to over 500 homeless shelters in the United States! Sackcloth and Ashes cares a lot about learning solutions about helping the homeless community and finds ways to contribute beyong blankets!
