Dayton Project Linus

💙📰Monthly Musings📰💙

What an incredible Project Linus workday last Saturday! We welcomed a record number of volunteers and processed an impressive number of beautiful handmade blankets ready to bring comfort to children in need.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports our mission in any way—whether you make blankets, pick up donations from drop-off sites, help with sorting and logistics, donate materials, or contribute behind the scenes. Every role matters, and together we're making a difference, one blanket at a time.

💙Monthly Work Day Reminder💙

It's almost time for our monthly work day with Dayton Project Linus! We will meet this coming Saturday, June 13th from 9 AM - 11:30 AM. Join us at the Lofino Plaza Meeting Room, 3868 Dayton-Xenia Road, Beavercreek, OH 45432.

Bring your completed donation blankets, favorite beverage in a travel mug, and your latest blanket project to work on (crochet, knit, fleece, quilt, etc.). Don't have a current project? We will find a job for you - from prepping fleece for upcoming events to sorting and organizing our recent donations - come lend a hand and make a difference!

And as a reminder, you are welcome to drop-off your finished, handmade blankets during any of our events. You are welcome to stay for the entire event, but if your schedule only allows for a quick drop-off, that's fine too!

Dayton Project Linus was honored to be part of a very special celebration recently. We had the privilege of presenting two camp-themed quilts to graduates of Camp Mariposa, a year-round mentoring program that these young adults committed to throughout their middle school and high school years.

These handmade quilts were created as tangible reminders of their accomplishments, perseverance, and the support they received along their journey.

As we move into the summer months, we will be changing our social media format from weekly posts to monthly updates. Thank you for your continued support of our mission to provide comfort to children in need. We look forward to connecting with you each month!

Our Dayton Project Linus chapter recently had the honor of making a special delivery of handmade, cozy fleece blankets to Hospice of Dayton for their 2026 Camp Pathways weekend .

Camp Pathways provides support for grieving children and teens from the Dayton region and surrounding communities. The camp serves youth who have experienced the death of a significant loved one, offering a unique space where they can express their feelings in a safe and supportive environment.

We’re grateful to play a small part in bringing comfort, warmth, and a sense of security to these children during such an important time. Keep those cozy handmade fleece blankets coming—and thank you to everyone who makes and donates them with love!

Hot off the press! We had a wonderful day celebrating and appreciating our amazing blanketeers and all they do to support our mission here in the Dayton region. We’re especially grateful to Seasoned with Love for donating beautiful box lunches—complete with generously stacked sandwiches, chips, and fresh, delicious fruit—as a way to honor the time, talent, and financial support our volunteers give so generously.

As you can see, we got a lot of "stitchin" done—and we shared meaningful conversation and a strong sense of community. Our blanketeers even surprised our chapter leaders with flowers! Thank you to everyone who made the day so special!
