Project Linus
Project Linus
The Department of Communication Studies announces its Spring 2024 Service Learning Day event – Project Linus. Named for the famous blanket-toting Peanuts character, Project Linus is a non-profit providing blankets for needy children. All blankets are handmade by volunteer “blanketeers” and distributed nationwide.
The Department of Communication Studies will host a Project Linus event with the Dallas chapter. Each month, the Dallas chapter of Project Linus provides over 400 blankets for seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise needy children. Volunteers will cut, tie, and package fleece blankets in the O.A. Grant Prem Lab on March 21 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Due to room size, we will be limited to about 15 students per hour; however, you may certainly sign up for more than one hour!
Pepsi drinks and water will be provided for volunteers, along with snacks.
Please join us for this heartfelt project. For further information, contact Dr. Tracey Holley at [email protected] or Dr. Cristi Horton at [email protected].
