Blankies for Grown-Ups

Blankies for Grown-Ups is an all volunteer based organization in Walnut Creek, California. For 15 years they have been hand making quilts and afghans for seriously ill adults and adult oncology patients. Blankies for Grown-Ups provides fabric, batting, patterns and lots of support to all their volunteers, all FREE of charge. Depending on donations, they can also provide yarn for knitters and crocheters and they can often provide sewing machines and other tools.

Most blankies are distributed through John Muir Health and Contra Costa County Health Services and through state - or community - funded programs. Blankies are also distributed to male and female oncology patients in local hospitals and clinics such as Kaiser, Alta Bates, Contra Costa County Hospital.

Volunteers meet at John Muir Medical Center Concord in the Concord Rooms four times year. Please contact the Blankie Project Coordinator Susan Gray Mason if you can help!

Donations are always welcome:

• Good quality cotton fabrics (no scraps)
• Yarn
• Sewing Machines
