As some of you may know, Nautical Yarn is the "clearing house" for the Ludington Chapter of Project Linus. We typically collect te 100-200 blankets each year and deliver them to our local hospital for children who have been ill or injured.
This week we received a request from the Michigan National Guard.
Camp Grayling, Engineering Company, Unit 1434 is requesting the help of Blanketeers from the Ludington Chapter of Project Linus.
Two-hundred fifty (250) Michigan soldiers are being deployed this spring. Blankets must be delivered to Nautical Yarn by May 1 so they can be delivered to the soldiers prior to their deployment.
These soldiers would like to give Project Linus blankets to their children for safety, security, and remembrance while Mom or Dad is gone for one or more years.
A total of 500 blankets are needed. We would like to assist with blankets for the more vulnerable age group, children between the ages of 4 and 10.
Please help with this endeavor to help provide security for the children of our Michigan volunteer soldiers.
Nautical Yarn and several yarn companies, especially Plymouth and Berroco, have generously provided FREE kits to help with this blanket drive. Stop by Nautical Yarn to pick up your free kit (while supplies last).
If you are able to make a blanket for this endeavor to help provide security for the children of our Michigan volunteer soldiers, it would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please email linus@nauticalyarn.com or call Nautical Yarn at 231-845-9868.
