Blankets Donated
Nationally Project Linus has delivered over 10 million blankets to kids in need since its inception in 1995. The Mecklenburg County Chapter was formed in February 2023 and delivered 1,001 blankets that year. In January of 2024 we decided to expand our reach from just Mecklenburg County into the surrounding Counties of Union, Cabarrus, Gaston NC and York SC and we changed our name to Mecklenburg NC & Surrounding areas. Starting in 2025 we will be officially known as the Metrolina Chapter!

Organizations that we distribute to on a regular basis:
• Baby Bundles (for newborns whose families are at or below the poverty level)

In cases of Emergency we might also distribute to areas outside of our chapter boundaries. In 2024 we shared hundreds of blankets with Western North Carolina due to Hurricane Helene and will continue as needed.
