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.

A fun day at Marbles on MLK Day for Community Heroes Day!

Marbles Kids Museum asked our chapter for the 2nd year to participate in their community Heroes Day! We had so many museum guests come visit us to make blankets, color in a quilt square and learn about Project Linus! Thanks to Sandy B for helping and all the wonderful young adults from Playworks (play works.org). Spoonflower graciously donated 4 yards of the quilt block designs (144 of them)  and they are ready to made into quilts!  We completed 25 quilts!
