EAST TAWAS – The Angel Blanket Ministry of the Holy Family Catholic Church, located at 516 W. Lincoln St. in East Tawas, has been making and distributing blankets since 2005.

The majority of these blankets have gone to third world countries; however, several hundred have been sent to victims of storms in North America, as well.
