How Can You Help?
Eagles for Children
On Thursday, November 16, Project Linus Iredell was the proud recipient of a $3000 Eagles for Children grant sponsored by the River Run
Country Club in Davidson. This grant will provide dozens of blankets to bring comfort, security and a "Linus hug" to seriously ill, homeless, or abused children in our community. We are so grateful and blessed.
Now I need volunteers to turn this fleece into blankets. If you, or your church/community group are willing to make a blanket or two, please contact me at Sherry@ProjectLinusIredellNC.org or call 980-255-1307.
Blankets Delivered: 3Q23: 121 Since Inception in 2017: 2523
***************************************
Launched in December 1995, Project Linus has grown to over 400 chapters nationwide and donated over 9 million blankets to children across the country. The Iredell County Chapter of Project Linus (also serving Alexander, Wilkes, Yadkin, Davie and Davidson counties) was established in early 2017 to provide blankets to traumatized children in our communities and to provide a fun, rewarding service opportunity for people who enjoy making life a bit more cheerful for sick, homeless, or abused children. Since launching in March 2017, we have delivered over 2000 blankets to children in need in our community. Thank you Blanketeers!
Project Linus was named after the adorable security blanket-toting character from the Peanuts(c) comic strip. Creator Charles Schultz was aware of our efforts and was delighted to have Linus inspire blanket makers to help comfort children in need. "The best kind of sleep under heaven above, is under a blanket handmade with love."
You can help by becoming a blanketeer, donating materials to make blankets, hosting a Make A Blanket Day, or making a monetary tax-deductible donation. Are you ready to "Get Involved" ?
