SCV Binky Patrol Provides Comforting Covers For Children In Need
The Santa Clarita Valley Binky Patrol Chapter is in need of blankets. We're an ALL volunteer, national, non-profit organization making and distributing homemade blankets to children born HIV+, drug-addicted, infected with AIDS or other chronic & terminal illnesses, those who are abused, in foster care or experiencing trauma of any kind. Our recipients are from 1 day-18 years of age.
Economic demographics, race, social status play no role in the decision of who gets binkies. We simply check our local area shelters, hospitals, emergency foster care and other agencies to see who has the need we can help fill.
OUR CHAPTER REQUEST:
Help us make blankets!!! We call these 'Binkies'. Binkies can be sewn, knitted, crocheted, or quilted. The only requirement, the blankets need to be at least 3' square, soft, washable, all pins removed and that they come from the heart.
We're always looking for new volunteers...sewers and non-sewers alike!
It's fun and easy to make no sew fleece Binkies:

- The no-sew fleeces are SO easy to make and SO appreciated. Wal-Mart has great prices on fabric. We made ours a family project for Disney Give-A-Day. Our ten-year-old is the fastest knotter ever! :-)

I couldn't believe we didn't have one in our area, Binky Patrol approved the Santa Clarita chapter on 03/09/10. I'm looking forward to working with the community, this truly is a great cause.

- I wish this group would have participated in Disneys Give a Day Get a Day! I had to drive to Chatsworth to turn in for the Binky Patrol and the lady in Chatsworth was overwhelmed with all the responses. I know a TON of moms that wanted to do this locally but there was no info on the HandsOn Network for this local group. They could have had a TON!!
