Be a Helper: Service Project at Olney Library

Making blankets for Project Linus

Join us for an afternoon of making blankets for children in need!

Join us for an afternoon of making fleece blankets for children who are in need. The completed blankets will be donated to the Montgomery County chapter of Project Linus.

Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides handmade blankets to children 0-18 in the United States who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. 

This hands-on activity will stimulate your child's creativity and imagination, while helping them develop critical fine motor skills. 

This program is for children 6 years old and above. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.

All materials provided.
