Todd Majeres, with the help of his family, carried in three tubs full of blankets to the Homeless Coalition of Fort Atkinson Thursday evening.
With the help of his Boy Scout Troop 14, Palmyra, and volunteers, Majeres created 25 fleece blankets for the homeless population in Fort Atkinson for his Eagle Scout project. Earning Eagle Scout is the highest honor a Boy Scout can receive.
Majeres created blankets by tying fleece together that are twin, kid and baby sized. The project involved 50 hours of work.
“After driving through Chicago and seeing homeless people underneath bridges with my dad, I realized my passion was wanting to help people,” he said.
He wasn’t alone in tackling this extensive project.
Facebook users donated fleece and JLH Trucking sponsored money to help him buy the left over fleece needed after donations.
Majeres is expected to officially receive his Eagle Scout rank after turning in completed paperwork and completing a board review.
