Our 2026 Make A Blanket Day was a HUGE success as we celebrated our chapter's 30th year. ! A big THANK YOU to Greystone Baptist Church for hosting this years event! It was a beautiful day, a wonderful turnout and so many blankets ready to be donated to various organizations including the National Guard and Wake Med. It takes more than a small village to make this event run so well. Our raffle was super successful - all proceeds help us continue to serve our mission to children in need.

Thank you to Greystone Baptist Church for generously donating their Fellowship Hall space for our annual Make A Blanket Day! This is an amazing community event held continuously since 2007. The Wake County Project Linus Chapter was created in 1996. For 30 years, our wonderful volunteers have donated over 75,000 blankets to children- giving them an extra hug, hope and comfort. Hope you can join us! If you have an item you would like to donate to our raffle, please send a message through our page and describe what you have. Thank you!
