The Power Of A Blanket

Let’s talk about the power of a single blanket.

A couple weeks ago I was chatting with my new friend Scott Macgregor, who is an incredible impact entrepreneur, and he said he often buys blankets from his clients from this brand that has a 1 for 1 model, Sackcloth and Ashes

…yes, he buys the blankets because he loves the mission and the impact the company is making. It’s not rocket science why impact companies are spreading so fast.

As I did a deep dive into them, I fell in love with the company, the founder’s story, and the impact they are making!

Bob Dalton founded Sackcloth and Ashes after his mother experienced homelessness. Instead of being ashamed he got inspired and asked homeless shelters around town what they needed most. The answer he got the most… blankets.

Like many of us reading, Bob saw a way to building a sustainable impact driven company to support his mission. For every blanket sold, Sackcloth & Ashes would donate one to a homeless shelter in the buyer’s local community.

The BUYERS local community. How fricken rad is that!

The blankets are also 75% or more recycled material and they take pride in being an ethically made product!

But it doesn’t stop at blankets.
Bob’s journey led him to found the Love Your City Foundation, a nonprofit that connects people with local grassroots organizations and encourages them to take action through volunteering, donating, and advocating for their communities​

I have used this site quite a few times to find local charities in areas I am travelling to or supporting clients with. Highly recommend checking it out!

Wait…theres MORE!
The box that the blanket comes in is designed to be turned into a gifting box that you are asked to fill with essentials like toiletries and snacks and give directly to someone in need​. It’s so simple, yet SO powerful.

Imagine getting a cool blanket, feeling inspired you made an impact purchase, but then getting it and being asked to fill the box with essentials to help someone in need… they have left no stone unturned in their impact adventure!

If you are like my friend Scott and looking to give a cool gift that makes a lot more impact and highlights a really incredible initiative, then I would recommend checking them out! 🫶🏻

Not only are you doing good with your purchase, you are also helping spread awareness of how easy it is to make an impact 🫶🏻

** I am in no way affiliated, endorsed, or compensated for the promotion of this company. In fact, I have never even spoken to them. I just love sharing companies that have inspired me with their mission. 

TLDR:

1. Follow my friend Scott, he is an incredible human.

2. You can turn any product into an impact-driven movement.

3. Think bigger than just the product, how can the packaging and branding make more impact.

4. Gifting products like this serve as part of the mission to educate people on the power of giving.
