I am currently filming a documentary about Project Linus for our local public community TV.
There are chapters world wide. Their mission is 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, afgans and quilts, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers".
Among the places blankets are given are to hospitals, children in natural disasters, Departments of Human Services, police and fire departments for children in frightening situations, children of fallen American Soldiers, to name just a few.

Project Linus accepts blankets for babies, children, teens, and this past year victims of hurricains and tornadoes.
Around 4 million blankets have been delivered nationwide.
Thanks for your interest.
