Welcome to the Montgomery County Chapter of Project Linus!

Our chapter meets regularly on the first Thursday of each month from 9:30am-1:30pm, with occasional exceptions which are always noted on the calendar. Though attendance at a meeting is certainly not required, the time together offers great fun and fellowship.

Faith United Methodist Church has graciously provided us a room for our meetings, for which we are very appreciative. The church is located at 2403 Rayford Rd., Spring, TX, approximately 1.25 miles east of I-45 on Rayford Rd. Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are held at Faith UMC.

Whether you knit, crochet, quilt, work with fleece or would enjoy learning one of these skills, we welcome your help in making blankets for children who are seriously ill or suffering other trauma in their lives.

The link on the lower portion of the page offers an opportunity to email questions you might have and these are always welcomed.

Ms. Marc Layton, Chapter Coordinator

The Montgomery County Chapter of Project Linus has provided security and comfort to 3,177 children through our blanket donations. This is due to very dedicated Blanketeers who continue to provide beautiful handmade blankets for the children in our area. A great big THANK YOU to all who help and an invitation to others to join in our effort to meet the needs of seriously ill and traumatized children in the Montgomery County, Texas area.
