In a joint collaboration emphasizing community support and sustainable agriculture, the Deltapine Field to Closet initiative and Covered in Cotton donated 200 cotton blankets to the CHRISTUS Children’s Hospital in San Antonio.
The donation highlights the organizations’ shared dedication to using their resources and networks to support communities across the Cotton Belt.
“This is more than a blanket donation,” says Tracy Woodard, founder and owner of Covered in Cotton, along with her husband Ty. “It’s a testament to how brands can invest in American families and businesses and make a meaningful impact in the areas where they live and work.”
Since 2017, Field to Closet has worked to bridge the gap between the grower, industry, and the end consumer, providing opportunities for brands and retailers to support U.S. cotton production and the creation of cotton goods that give back to growers and local communities.
During the 2023 Deltapine NPE Summit in San Antonio, Woodard spoke to growers about the organization’s partnership with Field to Closet and its mission to support children’s hospitals. Covered in Cotton partners with locally owned businesses throughout North and South Carolina to craft luxury home goods from cotton grown on the family’s third-generation farm in Darlington, SC. The summit provided an opportunity for Deltapine growers to team up with the company and write personalized cards to include with each donated blanket.
“At Deltapine, we believe in the strength of community and the impactful change we can make when we come together,” said Lauren Bessent, Deltapine Brand Manager. “Our collaboration with Covered in Cotton and the CHRISTUS Children’s Hospital is a shining example of our commitment to supporting the fabric of our society. By leveraging Deltapine partnerships across various sectors of the industry, we are working toward a shared purpose while supporting brands that champion U.S. cotton farmers and the greater good.”
