Mission Statement
First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers." Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
Description
Project Linus is a national nonprofit organization that provides handmade blankets to seriously ill and traumatized children. The Project Linus Southeast MN chapter, which serves children in the Rochester area, meets on a monthly basis. Volunteers help tag, label, sort and label donated blankets and work on their own blanket projects -- knit, crocheted, quilted, or fleece.
