November Newsletter 2024

November Newsletter 2024

Welcome November, the month of giving thanks and counting our blessings.  I want to tell you how busy we've been making, receiving and delivering blankets again this month, but it's becoming our normal!  Again this month we've received and donated about 200 blankets.  We've received blankets from our regular dedicated blanketeers and have received donations from those wanting to give back.

As we embrace the spirit of giving thanks this month, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation to all of you.  Your support has made a tremendous difference, and in this newsletter we are excited to share an update on Smith's Inspiring Donations, messages we've received and pictures of some of our blanket donations.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Warm regards,

October Newsletter 2024

It's officially fall and we are gearing up for another busy holiday season.  We've already started receiving requests for information about our chapter from organizations wanting to participate in service projects throughout the holiday season and beyond.  Again this month we distributed almost as many blankets as we've received - averaging about 200 of each.  Keep up the good work!  

In this month's newsletter, we have a piece about Hearts Knit Together, one of the non-profits to which we donate and a little short story.  Enjoy!

September Newsletter 2024

Here we are at the beginning of fall, kids are back in school, and our days are getting shorter and cooler.  In the past month, our blanketeers, Sweet Charity Sisters and anonymous donors have continued to create lovely blankets for us to donate to the local organizations that we support.  Again this last month we received over 200 blankets and donated over 200!  Thank you all!

In this month's newsletter we have information about a new organization to which we are donating, a story shared with me from Jackie Cohen, a special thank you and pictures of the many beautiful blanket creations from this past month.  

Warm regards,

August Newsletter 2024

Here we are already in the dog days of summer...it's hot hot hot! 

This month we have received approximately 200 blankets and have donated approximately 200 blankets to local children in need.  We delivered blankets to the Salt Lake City Police Department to be distributed to children at their "Pay It Forward" event on August 17th.  We will be making another donation to them for their upcoming December event.

Thank you to all of our dedicated Blanketeers and to Sweet Charity Sisters for your generous donations this month.  We couldn't do what we do without all of your support.

A quick reminder to our dedicated quilters out there, please check and double check your quilts for stray pins.  Recently, HQ Project Linus received a complaint from a distraught mother whose child was stuck with a pin.  We check the blankets when labeling and packaging them, but ask that you check them prior to donation as well.

In this month's newsletter, read about a special journey our blankets took in June, get an update on our fundraising, read a special thank you, and view pictures of blankets donated to our cause.

Warm regards,

Karen & Millie
