KIB Teams with Girl Scout Troop 3473 for Blanket Project

Irving, TX, October 21, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Keep Irving Beautiful (KIB) is proud to welcome the members of Girl Scouts of America Troop 3473 of Irving to The Blanket Project. KIB supplied 5 members of Troop 3473 with fleece material. The girls worked together to complete three hand-made “no-sew” baby blankets.

KIB started the Blanket Project in the summer of 2016, with a church youth group and a handful of summer campers. Since that summer, KIB has partnered with a number of faith-based groups and community organizations, as well as several local Girl Scout and Cub Scout troops. The blankets made through this project benefit local non-profit organizations, who distribute them to families in Irving and surrounding communities.

KIB Board member and Faith Groups Outreach Chair Rachel Moon says the project serves as a channel to bring so many members of the Irving community together, “We have found that this project has been a great way for volunteers to connect with each other and feel that they are making a difference. It has increased their awareness of the many organizations that exist to help our fellow community members.”

Keep Irving Beautiful is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating our community about litter abatement, recycling, and beautification to help preserve the health and promote the social and economic prosperity of our city. As an award-winning affiliate of Keep America Beautiful and Keep Texas Beautiful, Keep Irving Beautiful reaches out to all sectors of our city including government, business, church, cultural, educational, neighborhood and civic organizations.
