Mission Statement
♥ Project Linus is a volunteer non-profit organization with a two-fold
mission.
♥ 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.

A. Project Linus accepts all styles
of blankets… you don’t have to be an expert! Blankets may be quilted, tied, knitted, crocheted or fleece, etc.
They must be new, handmade, and washable. Elaborate or simple, they are all beautiful to a child.
Q. What about sizes?

is appropriate.
Q.
