How Can You Help?
Shout Out to Walmart
A big Shout Out goes to the Walmart Superstore in Statesville and the Walmart Superstore in Taylorsville. Both these stores approved a Community Grant request of $500 to support Project Linus Iredell County & Foothills in our mission to deliver new, handmade blankets to traumatized children in our community. We are very grateful for their support!
Blanketeers & Quilters Needed
Blanketeers and Quilters are needed to turn fleece and quilt kits into blankets for trauma
tized children in our community. Thanks to these Walmart g
rants, the fleece is available at no charge to volunteers interested in making blankets. If you would like to help, please contact Sherry Klepfer at 704-664-6515 or sherry@projectlinusiredellnc.org
Blankets Delivered: 1Q23: 204 Since Inception in 2017: 2294
***************************************
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" ?
