Prior to the Holiday break and the season of giving, 26th Halifax Cubs found a creative way to help others. Cubs made fleece blankets with a tied fringe edge. This is an easy no-sew project, especially for cubs (www.thesprucecrafts.com/fleece-tie-blanket-1252959)![]()
The blankets were passed along to the Out of the Cold Halifax along with holiday cards. Out of the Cold supports individuals or couples (16+) who are unhoused or precariously housed and are experiencing a variety of barriers to housing We cut and prepared the material, thanks to a group of parent volunteers; Chloe Budd from Out of the Cold did a brief talk to talk to the Cubs a little bit more while they make the blankets about why people experience housing precarity and what can be done to help. This project along with the creative fun, is also linked to Community Service, showing Cubs to be helpful citizens. lending a helping hand or making someone’s day a little better.
