(3) The women at the Joshua Center are beginning a project to create a blanket together to donate a child in need through an organisation called Project Linus. We're looking for fabric for the blanket. If you know of any resources that we could be connected to, or if you have any fabric lying around that you could bring in, all will be appreciated!
