Make a Blanket Day 2025!
March 8th, 2025!
Project Linus is a 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 20 years we have donated over 97,000 blankets to local kids in need. Come help us celebrate!
We have a brand new sewing machine to be given away at Make a Blanket Day! (Thank you to Susan Young!) You will receive one entry for each blanket donated. Please bring your blankets to our Make a Blanket Day celebration at Bryan High School. (Blankets created with fleece provided during blanket day are not eligible for the drawing.)
When? Saturday, March 8th, 2025 Where? Bryan High School
From 9am-1pm 4700 Giles Road Omaha, NE
What you need to bring? You can bring 1 1/2 or 2 yards of printed fleece with a matching solid piece for the back and scissors. Don't know how? NO PROBLEM!!! We will teach you! :) You can also 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. We have a lot of donated cotton fabric this year! Come and see what you can create with our beautiful donations!
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 omahaprojectlinus@hotmail.com.
