“As Charles Schulz’s Linus character from the PEANUTS® comic strip was comforted by his blanket, Project Linus strives to do the same and more for children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need,” the site explains. “The blankets our nearly 400 chapter coordinators collect from thousands of 'blanketeers' (volunteers) across the United States and then distributed to these children provide love, a sense of security, warmth, and comfort."
