What does keeping a kid warm in a hospital have to do with keeping fabrics soft? When you buy specially marked bottles of Downy fabric softening products, a 5 cent donation goes to their Touch of Comfort program, providing quilts for kids in hospitals. A staggering 6,000,000 American kids are hospitalized each year. In 2010, over 20,000 of them received personalized quilts to keep them warm, hand sewn by volunteers. Together with its partners, Quilts for Kids and the Children's Miracle Network, Downy softens and comforts the lives that it touches. To add star quality, Chandra Wilson, 5 time Emmy winner of Grey's Anatomy is the Touch of Comfort spokesperson, sometimes personally delivering quilts to kids. I bought Downy and asked a friend who quilts to make one of them. Go sew Nancy!
