Northeast Atlanta Chapter

Project Linus is non-profit organization with a two-fold mission:
• First, it is our mission 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 volunteers.

• Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children

Begun in 2003, we are one of over 400 chapters in the national Project Linus organization. We generally cover areas north and northeast of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Donated blankets are given to children in hospitals and shelters in the area.

REQUIREMENTS

Blanket types - we welcome all styles of blankets provided they are machine-washable (no wool), new, and handmade or hand-finished. They can be quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, or crocheted/knitted afghans. Blanket sizes should generally be a minimum of 30” by 36" for babies, up to 45" x 72" or so for teens and of course, anything in between. We can also use preemie sized crocheted or knitted blankets, 18" X 24".
