There is nothing more powerful than a simple act of kindness — especially when it brings comfort to a child in the hospital.

Today, Children’s Blankets of Love continued its mission of spreading warmth and encouragement with a special Blanket Delivery to WakeMed Children’s Hospital. Founders Barbara Marchioni and Vic Marchioni personally delivered 102 brand-new blankets to support pediatric patients receiving care.

A Warm Welcome at Wake Med Children’s Hospital

Hospital staff graciously welcomed Barbara and Vic and expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the donation. Team members shared just how meaningful these blankets are for children facing long-term hospital stays. For many young patients, a soft, colorful blanket becomes more than just bedding — it becomes a source of comfort, security, and reassurance during an uncertain time.

The staff posed for photos with Barbara and Vic, celebrating not just the delivery itself, but the continued partnership between Children’s Blankets of Love and Wake Med Children’s Hospital. Moments like these are a reminder that community support plays a vital role in patient care.

The Impact of Every Blanket Delivery

Each Blanket Delivery represents the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners who believe in making a difference. A blanket may seem like a small gift, but to a child spending days, weeks, or even months in a hospital room, it provides warmth, familiarity, and a tangible reminder that someone cares.

Through consistent outreach and community involvement, Children’s Blankets of Love continues to support hospitalized children across North Carolina — one blanket at a time.
