Since our start in October 2003, the Philadelphia, PA Chapter
has delivered over 10,000 blankets to children in need of a big hug.
On August 15, 2008 the Philadelphia Chapter proudly delivered our 10,000th blanket
to Stephen Phillips' Camp Director of Philadelphia Camp Erin.
Below is Stephen's thank you note for the 100 quilts we provided to Camp Erin.
I was
just thinking of you today and wanted to send you and all of the other quilters who made quilts for Camp Erin-Philadelphia
a big THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The quilts were very beautiful and it still is overwhelming for me to fathom the time and
money that went into each quilt.
The campers
LOVED THEM....even the older kids. We are so appreciative to Project Linus for your support the last 2 years.

♥ 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

♥ 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.
