Blanket ready for Donation
This is a fleece blanket with crocheted edge. These are very fast and easy to make. Kids love them!

We are looking for "Blanketeers" - people that make blankets to donate to kids in crisis. The blankets can be whole cloth quilts, tied comforters, single layer fleece blankets, and crocheted or knitted afghans - all in child-friendly colors and designs.
Please check our website for sizes and specs.

We also need volunteers to run our chapter - This includes people that will do administrative work, pick up blankets, deliver blankets, sew on tags, keep track of donations, host blanket days, etc. For a complete list, please see our website.

About Project Linus

Location:

4616 Granite Drive, Middletown, MD 21769, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is 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 lovingly created by volunteers.

Description

We make/gather/distribute handmade blankets to local children in crisis.

Our blankets go directly to agencies in Frederick County, MD to be distributed to children in crisis that they serve (local hospital pediatric floor and emergency room, agencies that serve abused and homeless children, hospice grieving groups for kids, etc).

Our chapter runs solely on volunteers and donations. Our volunteers not only make blankets, they pick them up from drop sites, sew on Project Linus tags, send thank yous, sort blankets, make repairs, and deliver them to agencies.
