I recently had the opportunity to meet the amazing founders of Nuhni Blanket Co., Dave and Christine. It all began when they volunteered together helping at risk kids in New England, New Hampshire. Once they were married, they made the choice to move to Austin, Texas where they worked at an emergency shelter together for 5 years. Together they worked with children that were the victims of rape, abuse, neglect, runaways and teen mothers. Through this experience Dave and Christine realized that they could make a difference by creating a socially conscious business that gives back to those in need. They now live here in Fort Collins, providing high quality products perfect for your little ones! Business Name: Nuhni Blanket Co.
