Opportunity Details

Create Blankets for Project Linus - Sponsored by Levitt-Fuirst Associates

Sponsored by Levitt-Fuirst Associates: Project Linus gives a new handmade blanket to children who are in a hospital, have been in an accident, in foster care, homeless, or in other challenging situations. Using just scissors, rulers and patterned fleece, volunteers will make no-sew blankets for children, so they have the feeling of home and the comfort of their own blanket. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old or 5 years old with an adult to participate in this event. All children 5 to 15 years old must be with an adult at all times and fill out a youth waiver.

PARKING: There is free parking for volunteers at the Westchester County Center. Let the parking attendant know you are there to volunteer for the 9/11 event. This project is a part of 9/11: Serve + Remember.
