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.

Dear Blanketeer Volunteers,

(MLK Day) Our event will take place from 10am until about 2pm or until we run out of materials. Volunteers will be responsible for bringing awareness to our chapter and the organization and teach the museum guests how to make the one-ply fleece blankets. Shifts are flexible- at least 4 volunteers needed at all times. Please email Deanna Winick@ deanna.winick@gmail.com if you can help. Parking is free. Parking is available directly across from the museum on Blount Street and Hargett street. Thank you!  Middle or High School students who know how to cut fabric and feel comfortable talking with kids and adults are welcome. Community Service forms are happily signed! 

All materials will be provided!!!! 
Thank you!!!!!
