Mission Statement
Project Linus Gaston/Lincoln/Cleveland County's first 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 and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."
Our Second Mission is to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and gr ... oups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
Description
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 local chapter needs. All blanket styles are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, crocheted or knitted afghans, and receiving blankets in child-friendly colors. Always remember that blankets must be homemade, washable, free of pins, and come from smoke-free environments due to allergy reasons.
We also need fabric donations (especially no-pill fleece), thread, sewing supplies, sewing machines, yarn, crochet/knitting supplies, gift cards to stores that sell these materials, etc.
