Blankets for Newtown, Connecticut

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Binky Patrol, Inc.

Binky Patrol: We make blankets and give them away to children and teens in need of comfort. It's that simple.

I am collecting blankets for the people in Newtown, Connecticut. Anyone wishing to help, please contact me for blanket delivery instructions. marlys@binkypatrol.org

I will be accepting donations, mailed or delivered, at my home in Salem, Massachusetts. I will deliver all blankes I receive to Newtown, CT during the weeks after Christmas. This will give people a chance to get the blankets to me. Blankets can be crocheted, knit, quilted or made of fleece. Must be machine washable/dryable; no wool.

Mailing address:

Binky Patrol Salem, MA Chapter; c/o Marlys Vaughan; 17 Cross Street; Salem, MA 01970

Please let me know if you will be sending blankets, when you plan to ship/drop off, and how many. I need to keep track of the numbers. Thank you!

Mission Statement

Binky Patrol is devoted to reaching out to needy children, including victims of violent crimes, drug-addicted, ill, homeless, neglected, abused, or children experiencing trauma in any way. Binky Patrol volunteers bring a caring, loving touch by creating and delivering handmade blankets, "binkies", to enrich the children's lives and to meet their most basic needs of warmth, security and comfort. Binky Patrol's unique way of touching a child's life includes many mediums. To reach them, "binkies" are distributed through hospitals, shelters, other service organizations, and social service agencies. "Binkies" are to be given as gifts and are not recycled in the agencies.

Description

Binky Patrol's volunteers as well as chapter leaders make blankets which can be crocheted, sewn, knitted, tied, and even quilted for ill and traumatized children.
