I spoke to a woman from their National Headquarters today, and was touched by a story she told me.  She recounted an incident in which there was a school shooting and someone from the local chapter stopped to deliver blankets to the students that had witnessed the incident.  While she was informed that the blankets weren’t needed – after all, these were teenagers, not small children, she left the blankets in a corner anyway.

Minutes after leaving she got a phone call.  It was someone at the school.  They needed more blankets.  It turned the high school kids had thrown the blankets over their shoulders, sat in a circle, and began opening up about the incident.  The high school kids were asking for more blankets.

Project Linus is great because they cater to kids of all ages, and so many different types backgrounds and experiences.  Each chapter reaches out to address the needs of their community.  For us this works so well because we don’t know every community as well as someone who lives, interacts, and gives there.  We’re so excited to partner with Project Linus!
