Wecome to the Bakersfield, Kern & Tulare Counties Project Linus Chapter Website                                    Welcome to the website for Bakersfield, Kern & Tulare Counties. I am Michele Willis and I am the Chapter Coordinator for Project Linus our areas. Project Linus has been in existence nationwide for about 12 years with over 400 chapters. Our chapter in Kern County started as of December 2005. Project Linus is a 100% volunteer organization.

Our mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfrot 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". It is also is an opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities to come together for the benefit of children. Project Linus has donated more than 2,000,000 blankets worldwide.


4075 BLANKETS DONATED SINCE JANUARY 2006.


 
BE A BLANKETEER  It is easy to help Project Linus. Simply make a blanket and donate it to your local chapter of Project Linus. Your blanket will be given to a child in need.

Our volunteers, known as "blanketeers", provide new, handmade, washable blankets to be given as gifts to seriously ill and traumatized children, ages 0-18.

All styles & sizes of blankets are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, crocheted or knitted afghans in child-friendly colors. Although Project Linus accepts any size quilt or afghan, I prefer not to have them smaller than 36x36. Thank You
