NCSC Launches Project Linus Sunday Night

Children in area hospitals will be a little warmer this winter as Newman Catholic Student Community will be hosting a night of volunteer blanket-making, Sunday, March 9th, at the Ecumenical Center.

This event will take place in the Fireside Lounge of the Ecumenical Center, located across the parking lot from the Kress Events Center. All university students are encouraged to join in the effort to help make blankets for the hospitalized children of the Green Bay area. Sponsored by Newman Catholic Student Community, a student organization at the university, the blanket-crafting materials will be provided.

The process is easy, so anybody who wants to help can. “We will be making cut and tie blankets,” explains Mary Frank, a NCSC officer. “They are easy to make, and make the kids feel more at home in a stuffy hospital.”

For volunteers, it is suggested that if they are able, they should bring their own scissors and two yards of fleece. Organizers welcome all donations of fleece and scissors as well.

Project Linus is a national program that brings volunteers together to make blankets for children in the hospital. Their mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.” Named after the popular Peanuts character, "Linus", who is remembered for his special attachment to his security blanket, this program has over 406 chapters, and over 2,293,340 blankets have already been donated nationwide.

This program begins at 8:00 p.m. Sunday, March 9th, at the Ecumenical Center on the UWGB Campus.
