• Get Youth Involved
  Let your schools, service organizations and scout troops know about Project Linus. These groups can hold a special blanket-day or work individually. Many of our local high schools require community service hours for graduation and this would be a great way for them to receive hours and give to children and teens in their community.  If you would like help organizing a blanket-day please feel free to contact Michelle Hoyt at mehoyt@mtaonline.net.

• Gift Certificates
  Another nice way to contribute to your local Project Linus chapter is through a gift certificate. A gift certificate from JoAnn Fabrics, Michael's Crafts, Walmart etc. will help our chapter purchase fabric, thread, batting, yarn and mailing supplies.

  You can also send us your JoAnn Fabric Coupons.

  If you would like to purchase a gift certificate online, please visit the following websites:

  • Jo-Ann - This money will be used to purchase fabric, batting and sewing notions.

  • Michaels - This money will be used to purchase yarn.
  • United States Post Office - Please purchase 37 cent stamps and have them mailed to the address below. These will be used for mailing newsletters and thank you notes.
  • Walmart - This money will be used to purchase yarn, fabric and sewing notions.

           Please have the gift certificates mailed to Project Linus, 6333 N Steen Rd  Wasilla, AK  99654 or

                   drop them off at one of the drop off locations. Thank you.

• Drop Off Points
  As the chapter grows, there is a need for safe drop-off points for volunteers to leave their precious blankets. If your business would like to provide such a space, we will provide an attractive container for the blankets to be placed in. Just email Michelle Hoyt at mehoyt@mtaonline.net if your business would like to help in this way.

• Company Support by Becoming a Sponsor
  There are many businesses that have volunteer programs that match volunteer hours with dollars. Ask your company if they would be interested in giving a warm hug through the gift of sponsoring Project Linus so that we may give a blanket to a child in need. If the company you are employed by or if you own a company that is interested in helping out, contact Michelle Hoyt at mehoyt@mtaonline.net about how you or your employer can become a sponsor for Project Linus.
