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.

Blanketeers are BUSY!
We have been busy delivering your blankets to a variety of places to help evacuees from Hurricane Florence. The trickiest part has been reaching the individuals, but we've done it and are still working on it. I'll update soon as to where your blankets are going to help children on our coast affected by the hurricane.
In the meantime, you all have really gone above and beyond in helping provide tag blankets for Haiti. They asked for as many as we could provide for children who did not receive much loving touch, and you responded with 1361 blankets!





And, just to top it off, you gave 120 blankets to seriously ill children at Camp Victory Junction.
