H1-Doing The Right Thing Just Feels Good! Weighted Blanket Mission and the Non Profits we support

Hi~ Im Jeremy the CoFounder of Weighted Evolution.

For the last decade i've been working in the mental health field doing my best to help people that struggle with mental and addiction disorders.

We believe through regular contributions of blankets and proceeds, we can assist well established non profits in their efforts to help those that need it the most. Our mission from the start has been to pay it forward by donating 5% of proceeds to these organizations, but we hope as our company grows we will be able to increase it from 5-10%. We also donate 100's of weighted blankets to special needs centers which is made possible by you. So THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Jeremy G. & The Weighted Evolution Team

P.S. check out the foundations below and if you are interested in being on our donor list, please reach out. Wish you all the best!
