Our mission is two-fold. First we 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." 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.

It is through the effort of many special people that we can make an impact in our own little area of the world. Here are our accomplishments as of January 2011:

22,494 blankets donated to Will County since 2001

3,566,285 blankets donated to Project Linus nation-wide

371 Project Linus chapters across the United States
