Rochester's chapter website is found at http://www.projectlinusrochmn.org/about-project-linus.html. We LOVE volunteers! Whether you're a quilter, knitter, crocheter, or none of the above, we need YOU to help get our new chapter up and running.

Blankets donated to the Southeastern MN chapter go to children served by these local agencies: - Brighter Tomorrows- Alternative Learning Center in Rochester- Families First- Ronald McDonald House- Birthright of Rochester- Rochester Olmsted Hospital Children's Unit- Foster Care Closet&nbsp;- Family Literacy Program - Rochester&nbsp;- Von Wald Group Home&nbsp;- Family Service Rochester&nbsp;- Mayo Clinic Children's Center&nbsp;- Bundles of Love&nbsp;- Serenity House&nbsp;- Gage East&nbsp;- Crisis Nursery&nbsp;- Ironwood Christian Ranch&nbsp;- Kids First in Winona For blanket guidelines, refer to the website: http://www.projectlinus.org/links.html

We are a local chapter of Project Linus, a national nonprofit organization that provides handmade blankets to seriously ill and traumatized children. Based in Rochester, we're looking for volunteers, or "blanketeers," to make quilted, knitted, crocheted, crochet-edged fleece, or tied fleece blankets. Please consider joining us to help provide comfort and security to children in our area.&nbsp;
