PDX MLK BAT - 1-15 and 1-17-2011

From the section: What is a Bink-A-Thon?
January, 2011 |

Warm blankets are being delivered as fast as they are turned in to help keep our homeless neighbors warm during the winter.  With so many families in transition or experiencing hard times, more children than ever rely on our homemade blankets to give them comfort and a reminder that they are not forgotten or invisible - we see them and care.  Please consider joining us for this event to pull together and make more blankets to comfort teens, children and babies in need - in addition to some adults faced with desperate circumstances. You can truly make a difference in their lives by choosing to help us this day!

Mark your calendars and rev your sewing machines for the next Binky Patrol Bink-a-thon, on Monday, January 17th (MLK Day itself!) where we will again be working towards a goal of making as many blankets as possible in just a handful of hours. The blankets we make will find their way to families with children in need of comfort and warmth.

If you have a sewing machine, read more/sign up here:  http://bit.ly/MLK2011_SewBlankets  

For those who want to help sew, pin, trim, and tie-off blankets, read more/sign up here: http://bit.ly/MLK2011_MakeBlankets

Or help prep fabric the Saturday before MLK Day (January 15th): http://bit.ly/MLK2011_CutFabric

Hope you can join in the fun this time around & thank you for considering this request – your help means a lot!

Sincerely,

Susan Finch, Founder/President
