As an advisor for Madison Middle School's community service club, KARE (Kids and Adults Reaching Everybody), I am always looking for projects where the school can get involved. Several years ago we collected red, white and blue knit and crocheted scarves for Connecticut’s Special Olympians. The following year, we solemnly gathered green and white scarves for the students and community of nearby Newtown who were coping with an unspeakable tragedy. What started as a collection of 300 green and white “hugs” for the Sandy Hook students morphed into an international collection of over 3500 scarves. In the midst of the project, I organized special knitting and crocheting classes at school in order to have more of my school involved. Other teachers picked up long retired knitting needles to help as well.

Lately, we've been hit hard. We've been beautiful hit with cuddly hugs of blankets arriving from teens fulfilling community service hours. We are so grateful to the school districts who have this requirement. Learn more about why Binky Patrol is ideal for community service.
Anyone can make a difference in the life of a child, but do you know a few people that want to help living near you? You may want to consider starting a chapter of Binky Patrol. With just a few friends, neighbors, family members you can bring bundles of comfort to children near you who are in need of a reminder someone cares. These ladies did over the past few months.
Give a shout here to celebrate Binky Patrol turning 14 today! I almost forgot until Area Coordinator, Sue Ochoa reminded me. Thanks Sue!
It's been a fabulous year. I'd love for all of our chapter leaders to post their anniversary comment below.
Piles and piles of binkies were what this past year has been about!
We took in more binkies during the past four months than we had in three years! It was AMAZING.
We've met new people, added new chapters, said goodbye to a few friends and added new sponsors. Thank you, everyone for adding to our success as we continue to make blankets for children in need of comfort.
In addition to volunteering for Binky Patrol, being a Girl Scout troop leader and a full-time web developer, Susan Finch made a lifelong dream come true by publishing her first book, Dino Manners.

I received a beautiful letter in the mail with an amazing book, "Quilting for Peace" by Katherine Bell. This book is a compilation of more than 25 inspiring essays and 15 charity projects. We were interviewed so that we could be included in this lovely book.
Not only does it tell the stories, but gives patterns for some easy and beautiful projects.
