As of April 2011 , 3,423 Blankets have been donated by Project Linus Mercer County Chapter to:


Our Neighbors in Alabama- 25 blankets were shipped to support victims of the tornadoes and storms that devastated the southern states. Our prayers for recovery are with our friends and "neigbors" in the south.

Blankets for Japan - This month the Mercer County Chapter sent 150 blankets to Soldiers Angels in Texas. They are part of a 10,000 blanket donation being made to Japan by Project Linus chapters across the country! Thank You Mercer County Chapter Volunteers!
