Project Linus (www.projectlinus.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to donating handmade blankets for newborn to 18-year-old children in need of comfort. Its primary mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth, and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. Blankets are knitted, crocheted, quilted, or no-sew fleece (with fringe).
The Montgomery County Chapter of Project Linus holds a monthly meeting, the 4th Monday of every month. Community members gather to make fleece blankets - our chapter supplies the fleece and all other supplies needed. Students can earn SSL hours if they attend. Chapter volunteers will be on-hand to help your group make the blankets.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
