WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A warm-hearted initiative is underway as the Lycoming Law Association opens its doors to homemade blankets destined for local children in need. These generously crafted blankets are part of Project Linus, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comfort to children through handmade gifts.
Every spring, the Young Lawyers Division of the Lycoming Law Association rallies community support by collecting blanket donations for their local Project Linus chapter. The blankets are distributed to children in the area who require a little extra warmth in their lives.
Co-chair Stephanie Wolak noted that the division typically gathers around 50 handmade blankets each year. As May approaches, members come together for a dedicated crafting session, often spending an hour or more creating no-sew blankets for the cause.
Gabrielle Tock from North Penn Legal Services expressed gratitude for the steady influx of donations. With the recent closure of a local fabric store, she highlighted the importance of community members stepping up to contribute kits and materials for blanket-making. This effort keeps the project sustainable and ongoing.
“The participation from local attorneys who engage in pro bono work reflects a broader commitment to giving back,” Tock said. “They are always looking for ways to support residents and make an impact in our community.”
The Young Lawyers Division continues to accept donations for Project Linus, welcoming contributions of both completed homemade blankets and materials for crafting. Interested donors can drop off their items at the Lycoming Law Association office.
As the weather changes and the need for warmth grows, this initiative serves as a reminder of the compassion and collaboration that exists within the community. Each blanket represents not just a physical gift, but a gesture of kindness and support for those in challenging situations.
The Lycoming Law Association’s ongoing efforts highlight the importance of community involvement and the positive impact of volunteering. Contributions of any kind can help brighten the lives of children in need during difficult times.
