Make A Blanket Day 2010
Project Linus is a 100% volunteer organization with a mission to
provide a sense of comfort to children who are seriously ill or
traumatized through the gifts of new, handmade blankets or
afghans, crafted by volunteer “blanketeers.” All blankets
donated to our local chapter of this nation-wide organization
are given to seriously ill or traumatized children of the Greater
Omaha and Council Bluffs area. This is an excellent opportunity
to contribute something special to our local children in need.
This is our Annual Make a Blanket Day for our chapter. Over the
last 6 years we have donated over 26,000 blankets to local kids
in need. Come help us celebrate!
OK Sewing has donated a brand new Janome sewing machine
to be given away at Make a Blanket Day! You will receive one
entry for each blanket donated from February 1 through
February 28th. Please drop off your blankets at OK Sewing, 928
S. 72nd Street, from Feb. 1-28 or bring them to our Make a
Blanket Day celebration at Bryan High School.
What you need to bring? New, handmade, washable blankets
and afghans OR bring your knitting, crocheting, or your sewing
machine and you can stay and make a blanket with us OR just
bring yourself and a friend! We will have a limited number of
fleece pieces to make some no-sew blankets. Also bring a
snack to share, if you like! If you can’t join us for that day but
would still like to contribute, we would love donations of cotton
fabric, batting, fleece, yarn or cash, etc… For more information
please call Omaha Project Linus at (402)212-3975 or email
