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.

GiGi's Playhouse

Project Linus provides blankets to GiGi's Playhouse, a Down syndrome achievement center in Cary. Their work on embracing and accepting children with Down Syndrome was highlighted in the News and Observer on August 19, 2018. What a colorful place filled with cheerful people!
