Hello, friends!
It will come as no surprise that The Linus Connection will not be having a Drive-Through Drop-Off for blanket donation on Saturday.
When weather permits, it's safe to drive again, and quilt stores have re-opened, please drop off your donations at the following locations and our delivery volunteers will get them where they need to go.
Thank you all for your blanket-making efforts. We hope you are safe & warm! If you're part of our Facebook group, we'd love for you to check-in and let us know how you're doing.
Please see each listing for details.

BEFORE YOU DROP OFF YOUR QUILTS, BLANKETS, & QUILT TOPS...
ALL blankets should include a paper tag with a poem and a sew-on Linus label. This is especially important right now. If you are out of labels, please contact Anne and she'll get some to you.
Preparing your donation:
- Please place donations in a plastic garbage bag or similar and include your full name and what you're donating so we can log it in (just like the sign-in sheet at monthly meetings). For your convenience, we have created a printable donation form. You don't have to use the form, but we do need the information listed for an accurate blanket count and donations must say "for The Linus Connection" so they will not be misdirected (see photo). If you would like a receipt emailed to you, please be sure to include your email address.
- Please make sure your individual quilts and blankets are labeled and have a poem with your first name. If you are out of labels, please contact Anne. She will mail some to you.
- Blankets will be distributed to our usual recipient facilities as needed. Delivery volunteers will be contacted personally if you have a delivery.
ANNUAL REPORTS
Below, you will find links to our Annual Blanket Reports. Big thanks to Stephanie for getting those to us so quickly!
Included are blanket donation counts by individuals, which you may need for your income taxes. Please remember that The Linus Connection cannot put a value on your blankets for you. If you need a receipt, please email Anne - ellisonra@yahoo.com.
- Annual Status Report (number of blankets collected & distributed in 2020)
- Number of blankets Distributed each year since 1999

As you can see, we did very well for our recipient facilities despite 2020 being such an unusual year. THANK YOU to all of our wonderful volunteers for making this possible!
