For February’s Crop N Chat on Saturday, 2/20, from 6-9pm, we will be incorporating a project to help others in need. The 3rd Saturday in February is Project Linus’ “Make a Blanket Day.” You may check out their website at www.projectlinus.org . Anyone who is interested in helping is welcome to participate! We will be making hand-tied fleece blankets for children in the Columbia area.
Project Linus is an organization where- “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.”
Our blankets will be distributed through Project Linus to 3 of our Columbia Hospitals, Rainbow House & Open Arms Pregnancy Center.
All blankets must be handmade & washable. If you would like to donate fleece material (crib size or larger), we will have a container in the Fellowship Hall. You are also welcome to donate any other type of handmade blanket (knitted, quilted, etc) that would be suitable for a child.
