Youth clubs band together to donate blankets for children in need
Children throughout Missouri who are ill or in need will be a little warmer this winter, thanks to 50 Missouri 4-H ers who answered the call of a philanthropy challenge back in October.
Seventy-two blankets have been donated to Project Linus, a nonprofit that facilitates the donation of handmade blankets to needy and sick children through local service organizations and hospitals.
According to a news release from the University of Missouri Extension, 4-H ers learned about the project at the the Fashion Revue in October, from Conni Douvier, North Central Missouri Chapter coordinator for Project Linus. The young members were challenged after a workshop to see how many blankets they could make.
