Donation from Rutledge Elementary 4th Grade

We'd like to send out a special thanks to the 4th Grade at Rutledge Elementary for their donation of 44 fleece blankets! 

Thinking of being part of The Linus Connection in 2016? Here are some ways you can help!

• The best way to help The Linus Connection is to make and donate a blanket (see our blanket requirements).

• Join us at our Monthly Meeting to turn in your blanket and help sew on labels, share in Show & Tell, watch our free monthly demo and help sort the blankets for distribution to children throughout Central Texas.

• Donate items to help with blanket making. The most needed items are low-loft cotton batting and washable, 100% acrylic yarn.

• Collect Hobbs batting UPC codes to help toward our purchase of charity batting (see details below).

• Cash donations are also greatly appreciated. Our organization is 100% volunteer and all donations go toward blanket supplies and basic operating expenses such as printing materials and storage facilities for our supplies. The Linus Connection is a Federal 501(c)(3) organization. All donations are tax deductible. 

Donate any amount safely & securely via PayPal:
