National Bink-A-Thon Blanket Making Event - Irvine CA

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Binky Patrol, Inc.

Image_202309011341

As part of a grant from the MrBallen Foundation we are hosting a blanket making event across eight states. This is for the Irvine, CA location. We will make blankets to give to children and teens who have been traumatized by violent crimes. Blankets are the fleece-tied type. We will provide fleece.

Bring your open heart to help us make blankets to give to these kids as a reminder that they are not invisible or forgotten and that they matter!

ALL ages are welcome. Children/teens need to have one adult per 4 children. This does count for community service hours through schools, service orgs and the court system. We are working on getting sponsors for lunch. We also need help setting up the day before - hauling items from storage to the event location, and clean up after.

You do not need to be crafty. You need a warm heart, a pair of sharp scissors and that's it! If you want to help in other ways, feel free to contact Kathy Taylor.

About Binky Patrol, Inc.

Location:

PO Box 652, Beaverton, OR 97075, US

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.
