The North Hempstead Project Independence “Blankets of Love” group was hard at work making and donating blankets to those in need this year. “Blankets of Love” was created by Project Independence members as a social group, allowing senior residents in the community to come together and work in a collaborative manner on meaningful and rewarding projects.
The group recently created and donated baby blankets and hats for the Town’s Perinatal and Infant Donation Drive and for the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook.
This year, the “Blankets of Love” group knitted 131 blankets, 64 hats, and 15 shawls which were donated to organizations across Long Island.
“Blankets of Love” currently meets on Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Clinton G. Martin Park. For more information on the program, please call 516-869-6311.
