Project Linus Donates Their 1,000th Blanket "The
best kind of sleep under heaven above, is under a blanket handmade with
love.” The first mission
of Project Linus 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.”
Secondly, it is their mission to provide a rewarding and fun
service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local
communities, for the benefit of children.
Since May 2002, First Pres. “blanketeers” have made and
donated 1013 blankets to the Will County chapter of Project Linus, that
distributed them to over Over
the years our group has been blessed with women who come to our workdays
at church and those who sew, crochet or knit blankets at home.
We have some very talented ladies in our church.
Please check out the First Pres. website for pictures of blanket
recipients and of our blanketeers” and some of the blankets they have
made.
