Community Service

 

 

     Support our local children through Community Service projects.

     Welcome Students, School Activity Directors and everyone interested in Community Service!

We invite you to consider Project Linus for your Community Service projects.  We would love to have you participate in making a difference in our community by making blankets for us. There are many simple ways you can make a big impact to local children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need.

    These fun projects can be done at the volunteer's (also known as "blanketeers") convenience, making them very popular and easy to fit into their already busy schedule.

Organize a Make A Blanket Day

• Though most blanketeers choose to work on their own, some organizations have hosted their own “Make A Blanket Day”’ for their group.  It can be a fun, team-building event and a Project Linus volunteer can help you with planning and preparation.

• Here is a document on how to prepare for your own Make A Blanket Day event.

​
