Providing comfort and security to children undergoing trauma with homemade blankets.

Description:
Project Linus volunteers make and collect handmade blankets to be delivered to seriously ill and traumatized children of all ages. The group meets the first Monday of every month at 10AM at Ashland Prsbyterian Church which is located at 116 Ashland Road in Cockeysville, Maryland.

History:
Project Linus is comprised of hundreds of local chapters and thousands of volunteers across the United States. Each volunteer and local chapter all work together to help us achieve our mission statement, which states:

First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”

Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.

Together we have distributed over two million blankets to children in need since our inception in 1995.
