September 2026
Good Morning Blanketeers,
Where did the time go. NWPA Project Linus is
celebrating our 28th Anniversary this month . In that time we have
delivered over 79,000 new handmade blankets to children in need.
Congratulations to all of our wonderful Blanketeers that have made this
possible,
Thank you can hardly express to all of you that
made this year’s Erie Give’s fundraiser such a success. We will have to wait
until mid September for our final results this year. Stay tuned…
When we say that it “Takes a Village”, no truer
words were spoken. We can’t do what we do without you !!! These
funds will allow us to purchase blanket making supplies, such as material,
batting and yarn for our kits.
Odds & Ends:
· There is still in
need of all sizes and types Boy blankets.
· Especially baby size
blankets
· As we near the cooler
months and the holidays, there are several agencies that require a large amount
of blankets for their clients. So, we ask that you continue your wonderful
blanket making, so that NWPA Project Linus can meet their needs.
Reminders:
·
When
you store or launder your blankets, please do not use dryer sheets or scented
bags or laundry soap, due to children’s allergies and possible respiratory
issues
· Check your completed blankets for pins or
long threads. Please remove them before a child finds them first
Looking Ahead:
February 20th, 2027 National Make a Blanket Day
August 10th, 2027 Erie Gives Day
