Project Linus is such a wonderful charity. Quoted from their website:
"Project Linus is comprised of hundreds of local chapters and thousands of volunteers across the United States. Each volunteer and local chapter all work together to help us achieve our mission which 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." Together we have distributed over three million blankets to children in need since our inception in 1995."
I am proud to call myself a blanketeer. Blankets are given to local hospitals, homeless shelters, and emergency personnel carry them in their cars for house fires, or victims of crime. Blankets can be ANY blanket crafted with new materials. Personally, I do alot of fleece with the edges crocheted. Some people crochet or knit whole blankets. Others sew or quilt blankets. The blankets go to children 0-19, so all sizes and patterns are needed. Please contact me for more information on how to make these fleece blankets, or contact your local chapter at http://www.projectlinus.org/ to find out your area's specific needs.
