No experience needed. Service hours are guaranteed upon request and emailed one to three days after you sign out and/or drop off your blankets. Service hour forms are not signed after this date and are only sent electronically over email.

Please bring your own made to this drop-off. A child-sized blanket consists of a single piece of polar, blizzard, or anti-pill fleece no smaller than 1.5 yards (54 inches in length).

Project Linus is a chapter of a national non-profit organization that specializes in making and delivering handmade blankets across the SCV to provide love, security and comfort to children who are seriously ill and traumatized.

The SCV/Sylmar/AV chapter of Project Linus opened in February 2013. While most of the chapter’s blanketeers are students from Academy of the Canyons High School, West Ranch High School, Hart at Home, Hart High School, Rio Norte Junior High School and Valencia High School, it also welcomes and needs volunteers from throughout the Santa Clarita Valley to help in a variety of ways.

Sign up here. For more information, please visit the Project Linus website.
