kindness covers Project

---

Kindness Covers is a youth-driven philanthropic project functioning under the Girls Infused Program. Kindness Covers was founded by Isabella Novak in 2018 (when she was 12-years-old) with a mission of creating fleece blankets to gift to those who would benefit from a little extra happiness, joy, kindness, or warmth in their life.

Kindness Covers has donated more than 550 blankets to members of our community and cancer patients in the Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia. 

Annually, Kindness Covers has worked with The Schyler Strong Foundation to raise funds, make blankets, and deliver a minimum of 50 handmade blankets to the Oncology Unit at CHOP in honor of Schyler Herman, who fought ALL and AML for a year before losing her battle on October 31st, 2018 at the young age of 15 years old. Kindness Covers had worked with Girl Scout Troops, Elementary Classes, Athletic Teams, Honor Society Students, and FBLA Clubs in order to teach area youth about philanthropy. 

Through these group efforts, blankets have been distributed to CHOP, LVHN NICU, LVHN Bangor Infusion Center, The Dale Hughes Francis Cancer Center, Women's Resources of Monroe County, Family Promise of Monroe County, and Third Street Alliance. Individual Kindness Covers have been made and mailed to members of our community when facing a challenging recovery from a diagnosis or unique hardship. 

Our slogan is, "Spreading Kindness Through the Warmth of Handmade Blankets." ~ Isabella Novak
