    Please join Binky Patrol Southenrn Connecticut for the last blanket making event of 2026! We will make blankets and give them to the local hospitals and social service agencies so kids can get extra comfort this holiday season. Blankets are the fleece-tied type. We will provide fleece.

    Bring your open heart to help us make blankets to give to these kids as a reminder that they are not invisible or forgotten and that they matter!

    ALL ages are welcome. Children/teens need to have one adult per 4 children. This does count for community service hours through schools, service orgs and the court system. We are working on getting sponsors for lunch.

    You do not need to be crafty. You need a warm heart, a pair of sharp scissors and that's it! If you want to help in other ways, feel free to contact Jeanne Malgioglio.
