The Mission Continues - Boston Platoon will be joining the Travis Manion Foundation - New England for Operation Warm Embrace: Blankets of Love for MLK Day of Service. This Operation Legacy project is a heartwarming opportunity for volunteers of all ages to come together and create cozy blankets for children in need through Project Linus.
Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides handmade blankets to children in need. The organization was founded in 1995 by Karen Loucks, inspired by the "Peanuts" comic character Linus, who is often seen carrying a security blanket. The mission of Project Linus is to offer comfort and security to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need of a sense of warmth and security.
Agenda for the day:
Blanket-Making: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Social: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Project Details:
Mission: Craft comforting blankets for children in need in honor of MLK Day of Service.
Materials: We'll provide all the necessary materials—just bring your warm spirit and a willingness to create something special.
Family-Friendly: This event is family-friendly, so feel free to register and bring your loved ones to join in the giving spirit.
Social at the Bar: After our heartwarming project, we'll continue the camaraderie with a social in the bar area from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It's a fantastic opportunity to unwind, share stories, and connect with fellow volunteers in this family-friendly establishment.
Let's come together to make a positive impact and spread warmth in our community. Your participation will not only create blankets but also memories of kindness and service.
We look forward to seeing you there!
