About Downy Touch of Comfort.

When you're a child, it's hard to spend nights away from home. Even harder when those nights are spent in a hospital. That's why Downy has partnered with Quilts for Kids to help give comforting quilts and a touch of home to children staying in Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
