Summary
The Sierra Vista Lions Club will hold a Project Linus no-sew blanket event Oct. 11 at the Salvation Army Community Center; volunteers of all ages are invited to make blankets for children in crisis.
The Sierra Vista Lions Club will host a Project Linus no-sew blanket-making morning Saturday, Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Salvation Army Community Center, organizers said.
Janet, representing the Lions Club, said the event makes washable fleece blankets for children in crisis — infants through 18-year-olds — and volunteers can participate without sewing skills. “If you can tie a knot, you can make blankets with us,” she said, describing prior sessions that drew large volunteer turnout and more than 100 blankets produced.
Organizers said the blankets are distributed locally through police, ambulance and social-service partners to children removed from emergency situations or otherwise in need of comfort items. Volunteers of all ages are welcome; the project also supports local quilters and crocheters who contribute sewn and crocheted items.
The Lions are also taking volunteers and welcome church groups, scouts and individuals. For further information, organizers said to watch for local notices or contact Sierra Vista Lions Club channels.
