Monroe and Trumbull, CT Chapter
Area Coordinator: Jeanne Malgioglio (203) 449-3985 email: ctbinky@gmail.com Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ctbinky
Please join us as we give handmade hugs to children who are in need. We need volunteers to make blankets for sick, traumatized, grieving or homeless children 0-18. Blankets can be knitted, crocheted, fleece tie, and quilted. Our chapter was established in January, 2014, and since then we have distributed over 11000 blankets! We have made deliveries to the following organizations: St. Vincent's NICU, Bridgeport Hospital, YALE's NICU, Griffin Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, Bridgeport Rescue Mission, The Ronald McDonald House. and the Center for Family Justice, just for starters. We have sent bags and bags of blankets to schools in order to comfort children after a tragedy. We also give out blankets individually, as needs arise.
We have 3 drop offs in Monroe for blankets and yarn/fabric donations: Edith Wheeler Memorial Library, and Patience Pediatrics (731 Main Street), and Last Drop Coffee Shop (on Main Street). Saugatuck Sweets in Fairfield is another drop off site. Vaughn Family Dentistry in Trumbull. CT is a drop off as well. Please email us (ctbinky@gmail.com) for a shipping address
We also have a wishlist: We would appreciated donations of cotton, flannel or fleece fabric and yarn. Treating us to quilt batting would be wonderful as well/. Gift cards to Joann, Walmart, or Michaels would be appreciated as well! We are collecting financial donations for future Bink-A-Thons. Checks can be made out to Binky Patrol and mailed to the above address. Thank you! Our facebook page will always have the most recent events and updates. Like and follow us! |
