Homeless Disaster Relief Blankets
Homeless Disaster Relief Blankets
The Brickle Group is proud to once again be manufacturing blankets for the Homeless Support Program, a federal program administered by DLA Troop Support (Defense Logistics Agency) under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. We’re reaching out because your organization may be eligible to receive these blankets at no cost and we want to make sure you are aware of this program.
Who is eligible:
Any non-profit organization in the United States that serves or assists people experiencing homelessness.
What you’ll need to submit:
- A request letter on your organization’s letterhead, including the number of blankets you’re requesting
- A letter of endorsement signed by a local, state, or federal official stating that your agency supports the homeless (dated within the last two years)
- A signed and dated Statement of Understanding – click the link below.
- A completed Confirmation Form with your shipping details -click the link below
Where to send your request:
Requests go directly to DLA Troop Support, not to The Brickle Group:
Email: Caroline.Fafara@dla.mil or Theresa.Gonzalez@dla.mil
Fax: 302-389-8232
Mail: DLA Troop Support, Clothing and Textiles, Bldg. 3B, Attn: Caroline Fafara, 700 Robbins Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111-5096
What happens next:
DLA validates each request and forwards it for processing. If approved and about two weeks after processing, the carrier will contact you to coordinate delivery. Please note that your organization is responsible for unloading the truck and will have two hours from the truck’s arrival to do so.
A few program terms to know: the blankets may not be sold or resold, and no shipping, handling, or administrative fees may be charged to anyone who receives them.
