Security Through Blankets

The Project Linus of Metro Kansas City supports local hospitals, shelters, and other organizations that help children in traumatic situations. At the hospitals, blankets go to pediatric wards, neonatal intensive care units and emergency rooms. Our Progress and Supporters page lists many groups who have received Project Linus blankets.

Will you help us? It takes a village to raise a child, but an army to make those blankets. Here are many ways you can help.
