Recipients holding blankets

Shelters and partner organisations together — a blanket handed to a partner is donated in the same sense as one handed to a shelter. Click a row for everything it holds, or click a Designated or Donated figure for just those blankets and the orders behind them.

Recent orders

Shelters

Every shelter on file, from the workbook. Click one to edit it or leave a note. Deactivating a shelter stops it receiving new blankets and needs a reason. Partner organisations are on their own page.

International bucket

Blankets owed to customers outside the US. They cannot be matched to a shelter by distance — the nearest one is meaningless four thousand miles away — so they collect here and an admin hands them to a partner organisation that works internationally. The organisations themselves are managed on the Partners page.

Partner organisations

US-based organisations that work internationally. Unlike shelters — which come from the workbook and whose IDs every donation refers to — partners are created here, so they can also be edited and, while nothing has been assigned to them, deleted. What each has actually received is on the Overview, beside every other recipient.

Impact email opt-outs

Customers who asked to stop hearing where their blanket went. We store a one-way hash of the address, never the address itself, so this cannot be listed or browsed — look someone up by typing the address they wrote in from.

Automatic sending

Impact emails go out on their own — 28 days after the order was fulfilled, and only once the blanket has physically shipped. Nobody presses send. This is where you see that it is still happening, and stop it if it should not be.
