Manufacturing Comfort: Kinetyc Partners with Fleece & Thank You to Support Hospitalized Children

At Kinetyc, manufacturing isn’t just about efficiency and scale—it’s about people. That’s why we’re proud to support Fleece & Thank You, a Michigan-based nonprofit bringing comfort and connection to children facing hospitalization through the gift of handmade fleece blankets.
Each year, more than 30,000 children are hospitalized in Michigan. Fleece & Thank You is on a mission to meet each one of those children with a warm, colorful blanket—and a powerful reminder that they are not alone.
A Blanket. A Message. A Moment of Hope.
Fleece & Thank You provides blanket-making kits to individuals and groups across the state, inviting volunteers to create personalized fleece blankets paired with heartfelt video messages. Every child who receives a blanket can respond with a message of their own—building a meaningful moment of connection during a deeply difficult time.
To date, the organization has:
- Delivered over 100,000 blankets
- Partnered with 18 hospitals in Michigan and Northern Ohio
- Created over 22,000 personalized kits annually
- Driven forward research-backed comfort through meaningful, handmade items
And now, thanks to Kinetyc’s support, they’re preparing to scale that number even further.
Powered by Purpose—and Precision
In partnership with Fleece & Thank You, the Kinetyc team has begun laser-cutting fleece for blanket kits at our Wixom facility. By increasing the number of ready-to-assemble kits, we’re helping the organization empower more volunteers, reach more hospitals, and bring joy to more children.
“It’s a privilege to use our equipment for something that brings comfort to kids in crisis,” said Drake Mowers, Business Development Manager at Kinetyc. “We’d love to apply our expertise to more charitable works like this.”
More Than Manufacturing
Kinetyc is built for scalable, high-quality production. That same precision and speed can help nonprofits expand their reach and bring meaningful missions to life.
Whether it’s cutting fleece for comfort kits or launching new innovations, we’re proud to support partners with a purpose—helping bold ideas take shape and scale.
