Project Linus - New Jersey
Project Linus - New Jersey distributes handmade blankets to youths in hospitals and shelters.
Our service learning participants hail from schools, Scouts, faith-based organizations and volunteer programs throughout the country with a high concentration right here in New Jersey. We have the youth volunteers to thank for collectively donating more than 34,000 handcrafted blankets for their fragile peers:
It is clear that today’s youth will bring excitement and energy to community programs that reinforce the scope of volunteerism and given the opportunity take a personal role in contributing to our world.
Completed art murals have reached children as far as India and adorn the hallways, hospital rooms and bedroom walls of some of the most fragile children Project Linus NJ has reached locally, national and internationally.
What better voices of volunteerism than our children. Partners in healing, on a mission of hope.
Our Kids Helping Kids Mural Program has over 440 schools and community groups to thank with collectively more than 34,000 individual blankets completed.
