Tip Of The Month
Blanketeers:
We've recently been receiving a number of blankets that STRONGLY smell of perfume. The scent may be from perfume worn by the blanketeer, from a dryer sheet or perfumed detergent or scented plastic bags that blanket were dropped off in. Regardless of the source, we CANNOT give children blankets that have ANY scents on them. Please DO NOT USE any of the above mentioned mentioned products when you are working with a Project Linus blanket. The blankets will be returned to the blanketeer for cleaning before we can give them away if we have contact information for that person. Thank you for your attention to this important detail.
PS. We've also been receiving many blankets recently with pet fur on them. SAME ISSUE - we cannot give children blankets in that condition. Such blankets also will be returned to the blanketeer for cleaning if we have contact information for that person. Again, thank you for your attention to this important detail.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept blankets made with the "Make it Give it" fleece sold at JoAnn's as it is not as durable as their standard fleece. We want our blankets to last through years and years of snuggling and hugging. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Project Linus is a volunteer non-profit 501c3 organization.
