Project Linus Clayton/South Fulton Chapter "Blanketeer"

Our volunteers, known as “Blanketeers,” provide new, handmade, washable blankets to be given as gifts to children up to 18 years old who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need. Volunteers can be as young as 8 (with adult supervision).

We are also in need of volunteers to pick up donations throughout metro Atlanta (Clayton & Fulton counties), Assist with locating drop off sites in the community for blanket donations, as well marketing the volunteer opportunity to family, friends and the community. (18 & older)

Opportunities: You may wish to coordinate or participate in a Make A Blanket Day. Some Blanketeers gather coworkers and hold an event at work. Students, clubs and troops often work together to create a number of blankets. Some chapters gather and make as many blankets as possible. Others hold an open house to simply collect blankets and materials. Together as a chapter, we can decide the best activities for our community and the materials we will need (fabric, fleece, yarn, food etc.) to accomplish them.

Chapter coordinators are required to be non-smokers and live in smoke-free homes. We ask that our Blanketeers do the same. Because some of the children who receive our blankets may have compromised immune systems, we must ensure our blankets are free of smoke and chemical odors (including scented detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets) mold, mildew, and pet hair.

Smokers can volunteer virtually. We would love to discuss our available opportunities.
