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 volunteer "blanketeers."
It is also our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested
individuals and groups in local communities for the benefit of children.
Project Linus has 405 chapters throughout the United States which have donated 3,005,973 blankets to children
in crisis since 1995.
Our El Paso Chapter has been active since July 2002. We have given blankets to 12,234 children
in our community.
