The Best Spring Break Ever – Making Binkies with Friends for Neighbors
Linfield Christian School students Austin Brown and Alexis Brown brought Area Coordinator Kimberly Legg in Temecula 54 binkies! We've had previous stories about this brother-sister team. We're so happy they were able to help over the break. They are masters at "the Binky Patrol Way" of making fleece blankets. These blankets will head to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital Pediatric Oncology and Dialysis Unit. Kimberly Legg shared, "These two amazing students are changing a child's story, one blanket at a time. So grateful for their assistance as we deliver blankets to LA."
