Press Room

Founder of Sackcloth & Ashes, Bob Dalton was inspired to help the homeless population when his mother found herself living on the streets in 2013. Because of his mother's journey, he was inspired to call his local homeless shelters to ask what they needed most - they all said blankets. That's when he founded Sackcloth & Ashes, a mission-driven company that donates a blanket to a local homeless shelter for each one purchased.
