TAPS - Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors
Project Linus chapters all over the country support those serving in the Armed Forces and their families by providing blankets to the children of lost & wounded soldiers. TAPS has on going grief support for the children and use our blankets as a tool. If you would like to make a blanket to go to the TAPS Program please include a note with your blanket when dropping it off. We can use all sizes and types, but are especially looking for patriotic themed blankets.
Blanket Checklist
BLANKET CHECKLIST - Is Your Blanket Ready to be Turned In?
No pins left in blankets. Please double check.
No thread tails or runs of thread between stitching lines.
Cut off that extra sewing thread so it doesn't get wrapped around a toe or finger.
All seams securely stitched.
If quilt is bound, the binding catches all edges and covers all raw edges and quilt batting.
Tied blankets - tied with bedspread weight crochet thread or embroidery floss.
Yarn blankets - do not tie a knot and cut the yarn next to the knot. This will come untied. Instead, leave 4 to 8 inch yarn ends and use a yarn needle to weave the yarn ends into the stitches to secure the yarn.
All blanket materials are new, machine washable and machine dryable.
No pet hair, cigarette smoke or other contaminants in or on the blankets.
Include your name and contact info with your blankets if they are dropped off.
