The #ComfortQuilt Campaign

Support Project Linus


With the recent tragedies in Ottawa and Marysville Pilchuck High School, Resilient Hope would like to share a project that provided vital comfort to our founder and her peers weeks after surviving the tragedy at Columbine High School. In our time of grief and despair, the good folks at Project Linus provided our entire student body with ‘Comfort Quilts.’

The mission of Project Linus is to first provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.” Secondly, they provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
