How you can help

Become a Blanketeer - Make and donate a blanket. We welcome all types, crocheted or knitted, cotton or fleece. Blankets must be made of NEW washable materials. Our preferred size blanket is 45" by 60". We also appreciate larger blankets for older teenagers. If quilts are tied the ties should be no more than 6 inches apart. Please use embroidery or crochet cotton, not yarn. When you make fleece blankets, please cut off the heavy selvage edges before doing anything with the fleece. As of right now, we are not accepting the double tied fleece blankets. We have an over abundant supply of them, and most hospitals do not want them because they are too heavy and can stir up too much dust. *Please note that we cannot accept blankets made in a smoking environment. Also, if you have pets, please be sure to remove all pet hair from the blankets.*

Blankets can be dropped off at any time at the East and West Shore Discount Vacuum & Sewing Centers located in the Union Square Shopping Center and the Gateway Square Shopping Center.

Other than donating blankets, there are many other ways you can help Project Linus! For instance:

Donate supplies - Fabric, yarn, thread, batting, thank you notes, postage stamps, paper, gift certificates to craft or office supply stores, etc. are gladly accepted and appreciated.

Tax-Deductible Contributions - Monetary contributions help defray the costs of our volunteer effort.
