"Providing Security Through Handmade
Blankets for Children"
Linuschicago@aol.com
Over 42,700 blankets donated by our chapter...


We are pleased that you have logged on and joined us to learn more about Project Linus, a volunteer, non-profit organization.   Our mission is to supply handmade security blankets to comfort children who are critically ill, tramatized or otherwise in need.    Additionally, Project Linus  provides a rewarding volunteer  opportunity for community service groups, as well as school and scouting groups, for the benefit of children.

A Project Linus label is sewn into every blanket donation.
It reads--
Made With Tender Loving Care for Project Linus. Linus is pictured on the right side of the label, holding his blanket.
If you are aware of a child in need, please email  Linuschicago@aol.com
