Humanists in Action: Blanket Service Project @ American Empathy Project

Be a part of this national day of service initiated by the American Humanist Association in response to the crisis of cruelty plaguing our country and communities. HumanistsMN is hosting a variety of opportunities on May 2 to champion empathy and compassion in our society.

You can join in by helping to tie flannel blankets for the Linus Project which distributes them locally to babies and children in need. Material and instructions will be provided. It involves hand-stitching yarn ties in blankets to hold the front and back together - a task even beginners can do! Bring scissors if you can (there will be several pair brought by facilitator, also)

Afterwards we'll celebrate our efforts with all the days' volunteers over nibbles and beverages in the gallery. Let's come together for a good cause!

PLEASE NOTE: There is an attendee limit due to space and quantity on this project. Please keep your RSVP accurate and up-to-date so we have the right number of people to complete this project.

While HumanistsMN grants are covering the cost of the blankets, any monetary donations to help finance this project would be gladly accepted.
