The Project Linus Chapter of Wake County, NC was started in 1996 by Susie Holmes. Over 50,000 blankets have been delivered to many local groups and agencies that help seriously ill or traumatized children who need a HUG from a blanket including: Wake Med Hospitals, Rex Hospital, Duke Hospital NICU, Safe Space (for children of abused women receiving support), Hospice (for their Reflections program for grieving children and teens), Make a Wish Foundation, the children at Salvation Army, Children's Flight of Hope, and Wake County Social Services.

THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who helped make our annual Make a Blanket Day on April 21 such a success.
On that one day, we delivered 680 blankets to Wake Med, Wake Med North, Social Services Adoption Forum and tornado victims in Greensboro. We made 324 blankets for deliveries in the next few weeks. Our raffle raised over $500, which will be used to buy fleece, yarn and fabric for more blankets!
Special thanks go to Deanna Winick, Janet Rapp, Diane Wallace and XFinigen Media for all of their hard work before and during the event. Here is a special video highlighting Janet:


Thank you all for making our community such a caring place for children,
Susie Holmes,
Coordinator, Project Linus Wake County
