 It's easy to help Project Linus because there are so many ways you can donate your talents, time or money.

Volunteer to Make Blankets Simply make a blanket and deliver it to your local chapter of Project Linus. Your blanket will be given to a child in need. Our volunteers, known as "blanketeers", provide new, handmade, washable blankets to be given as gifts to seriously ill and traumatized children, ages 0-18. It is Project Linus' policy to accept blankets of all sizes, depending on the needs of the local chapters. All styles of blankets are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, crocheted or knitted afghans, and receiving blankets in child-friendly colors. To help you get started, click here to learn about making blankets.. Provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for your scout troop, church youth group or school community service project. Check out our Kids Helping Kids Program.

Come visit our workshop from 11:00 to 3:00 on Mondays and Thursdays.
