How do I donate blankets I have made?
The Linus Connection collects blankets the third Saturday of each month at St. Phillips Methodist Church, 16321 Great Oaks Drive, Round Rock between 9 and 11 a.m.
If you can't make it to the monthly meeting, you can drop off at one of our Drop-Off locations.
The non-commercial locations have plastic containers out to collect your blankets. Please call or email for directions!
Where are the blankets donated?
Blankets are donated to abused, abandoned, ill and at-risk children in the central Texas area who need the comfort and security of their own blanket. The majority of the blankets are given to children aged seven to twelve years, but we also donate blankets to premature babies through teenagers.
Please visit our list of recipients for more information. If you know of an organization that would welcome blankets, please let us know and we will do what we can – depending on the availability of blankets at that time.
Do you ever meet?
We meet as a group on the third Saturday of each month, from 9am to noon at St. Philip's Methodist Church in Rock Round (get directions). There are also several Linus Circles that meet at various times each month.
