Little ones learn early that
babies need a blanket hug!!
The Children Our Volunteers Serve:
All of Salt Lake County’s growing
population. It seems as though there is
an ever-increasing need and an ever-increasing number of children in crisis in S.
L. County.
That’s because the county is
growing at an amazing rate and has reached 1,030,000 in 2016. It
stands to reason that along with that population growth there will also be more
children in desperate situations.
Our volunteers serve children
in these cities of Salt Lake County:
Salt
Lake City, Sandy, West Valley City, South Salt Lake, West Jordan, Murray,
Midvale, Holladay, Riverton, Taylorsville, Cottonwood Heights, Herriman, Alta,
East Millcreek
SLC Youth Services - Boys and Girls Group Home
Last month we picked up a new
distribution site – SLC Youth Services. This boys’ and girls’ group home is a place of
refuge, safety and shelter for children/youth.
(The Christmas Box provides that same service for younger children)
Received Thank You Notes:
“Thank you
for your blanket donation today! That was so generous! We appreciate your kindness and you are

“Dear
Project Linus Members!
Thank
you so very much for the wonderful blankets you donate to our babies and their
parents. They are always well-made beautiful works of art. We only wish you could see the joy on the
parent’s faces when they see this gift in their going-home bags.
Much
Love To You,
The
Staff & Babies - St. Mark’s NICU”
