Our Chapter of Project Linus depends on volunteers
who make and donate new, handmade, washable blankets and
afghans. These
blankets, lovingly created by volunteer blanketeers, provide
love and
a sense of security, warmth, and comfort to children who are
seriously
ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. You can get blanket guidelines here and find drop off locations here. We also need volunteers to help with deliveries, pick ups, cutting fabric, quilting services, sewing labels on blankets and much more. Please contact Deb Miller via email or phone at 865-719-2862 if you are interested in donating or volunteering. Our Wish List
