FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Blanket Project donated 25 large knitted and crocheted blankets and afghans and six shawls to the Foundation for Senior Care to be given to their clients for Christmas.
The Foundation for Senior Care is a nonprofit in North San Diego County that serves over 1,000 seniors and disabled adults each year. The gifts from the Blanket Project will be delivered to those seniors who might otherwise be forgotten.
The nonprofit Blanket Project, founded in November 2014, consists of many volunteers knitting and crocheting all sizes of blankets, afghans, baby blankets, hats, scarves, etc., to be donated to the less fortunate.
Over 4,000 items have been given to Fallbrook and Temecula charities and fundraisers, Camp Pendleton Hospital and YMCA, North County women's shelters, needy individuals and more.
New members are always welcome to visit or join this free group which meets at the downtown square at Alvarado and Main every other Monday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., masks required. The next meetings are Jan. 4 and 18. Free individual knit/crochet lessons are given.
Donations of yarn and colorful gift bags to hold our donations (any size, any holiday or print) are always needed and welcome! For more information visit fallbrookblanketproject.org or email [email protected].
