Happy (almost) spring!
With the arrival of March comes the familiar ritual of turning our clocks forward, signaling the promise of longer days and warmer weather ahead.
Reflecting on February, we are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication shown by our blanketeers and the local community. Thanks to their efforts, over 200 blankets were either donated or lovingly crafted by our dedicated blanketeers. These blankets have brought warmth and comfort to over 180 children across various organizations within our community. In the upcoming months we will be spotlighting some of the organizations to which we donate.
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce our participation in the upcoming "Pay It Forward" event this fall where local law enforcement and staff host children from the Salt Lake City School District. They anticipate approximately 80 children participating in two events scheduled for August and December. We are committed to providing each child with a blanket of their own. This initiative not only exemplifies our mission to serve our community but also underscores the importance of spreading kindness and support to those who need it most.
Our blog will be undergoing some exciting updates and getting a fresh new look in the coming months. While we work behind the scenes to enhance our site, please note that our blog may be temporarily "under construction". If you have any ideas or suggestions for content you would like to see on our refreshed site, we'd love to hear from you! Please send your ideas and feedback to our email address at slcprojectlinus@gmail.com.
Lastly, all are welcome to join us at our upcoming "blanket making days":
Thursday, March 21st, 1:00-3:00, Mountain Vista Methodist Church, 8931 S 3200 W, West Jordan
