Saturday is National Blanket Day. To celebrate, a group of community members in Holland set aside time to make blankets for children in need. • • Saturday’s event was part of “Project Linus which provides handmade blankets to kids 18 and under who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. • • Sewers, knitters, crocheters, and quilters around the area have created and donated about 19,000 blankets to different kids since 2005 when the local chapter of Project Linus began at Living Faith United Methodist Church. • • “We give them to children who are in need. We take them to hospitals, children’s services, soldier’s families who have been deployed and schools,” said Billie Szymanski, chapter coordinator for Project Linus Toledo. • • Over 9 million blankets have been made and donated across the United States and Canada since Project Linus got its start in 1995. The organization has about 300 chapters. • • MORE: https://www.wtol.com/article/life/hea... • • FULL WTOL 11 WEATHER FORECAST: https://www.wtol.com/article/weather/... • • Check out our WTOL 11 Weather radar for a closer look! • • https://www.wtol.com/radar • • Subscribe to WTOL 11 - https://bit.ly/32odAkM • • Connect with us on social media: • Go 419 Facebook - / go419 • Facebook - / wtol11 • Twitter - / wtol11toledo • Instagram - / wtol11toledo • WTOL 11 newsletter - https://wtol.com/email • WTOL 11 Weather app - https://bit.ly/3o7ZNwO
