Make a Blanket Day 2026!
Saturday, September 19, 2026!
We are 22 so let's celebrate! (Bring your friends and families, too.)
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 children, ages 0-18, here in 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 22nd Birthday Party for our chapter. Over the last 22 years YOU have donated nearly 101,000 blankets to local kids in need. Come help us celebrate!
When? Saturday, September 19, 2026 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(no minky, please) 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. Also bring a snack to share, if you like!
We will be giving away a sewing machine donated by Susan Young. For each blanket donated you will receive a raffle ticket to enter into the drawing. (Blankets made with the fleece provided at the event will not be eligible for the raffle.)
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.
