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.
"Your beautiful blankets are so appreciated by the families with new babies!"

What a Project Linus blanket can mean
(Posted with permission of the author's)
Dear Project Linus - Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful gift of blankets for Afghan families arriving at Fort Bliss. The love and care that went in to making each blanket is clearly visible! Please know that they are cherished by each woman and child who received them.
Dear Project Linus - the children at the Grief Center received their blankets in early December. One of the girls said "I picked the green one because my dad was in the Army". Such a sweet kiddo thinking of her father as she picked it out.
