Volunteers are critical to our success as a chapter!

Become a Project Linus volunteer

Become a blanketeer! Blankets can be quilted, crocheted, knitted, or made from a single layer of fleece, using a variety of techniques to create a finished edge. Look through our web pages for ideas and patterns.

Participate in Club Linus (click here for schedule) to help us collect blankets from our drop-off locations, inspect, label and package blankets for distribution, and deliver blankets to hospitals and social service agencies.

Hold your own blanket-making day! Contact us for ideas about how to make this work.
