Since the State 4-H Fashion Revue in October, Missouri 4-H’ers have been hard at work making blankets for Project Linus.
According to a news release, fifty 4-H’ers from 19 counties donated 72 handmade blankets to Project Linus as a result of a philanthropy challenge at the event.
Project Linus is a national nonprofit that facilitates the donation of handmade blankets and afghans to children who are ill or in need. Blankets are collected locally and distributed to children through hospitals and social service agencies.
