We have a large amount of yarn and some fabric that has been donated to us for our volunteers to use to make blankets. There are also patterns, sewing supplies, crochet hooks, knitting needles, etc. Some of the items are not appropriate for blankets, but would be good for crafts so pass the word to your teacher friends that they are welcome to participate.
I’ve rented a separate storage unit and will be holding the giveaway for volunteers to pick up items to make Project Linus blankets and in support of other charitable organizations. The storage unit is Pickel Storage located at 733 Ladd Landing Way, Kingston, TN. It’s in unit 2295.
Directions:
From Knoxville, you take I-40 West to the Lawnville Exit 355(this is the first exit past the big Oak Ridge 356 Exit with the Weigels). Veer to the right when you get off the exit. The Pilot Station will be on your right, make an immediate left on to Ladd Landing Way (you’ll see a sign pointing left for Pontoon Boats). The storage unit will be on your right within1/4th mile. (If you get to the Pontoon Boats, you’ve gone too far.). Turn right into the storage unit and drive straight back and the unit is near the very end on your left.
From Kingston, Harriman and points west you will come East on I-40 to the Lawnville Exit 355. Turn left off the exit and go back over I-40. The Pilot Station will be on your right, make an immediate left on to Ladd Landing Way (you’ll see a sign pointing left for Pontoon Boats). The storage unit will be on your right within 1/4th mile. (If you get to the Pontoon Boats, you’ve gone too far.). Turn right into the storage unit and drive straight back and the unit is near the very end on your right.
COVID-19 Restrictions: Everyone will be required to wear a mask and requested to use hand sanitizer (will be provided) before sorting through the materials. Hopefully, the weather will be nice and we can pull the tables out into the parking area allowing for plenty of social distancing. If not, individuals or families/small groups travelling together will be allowed to enter the storage unit by themselves and others will be required to “wait their turn”. 6 foot social distancing will be observed. If you choose to wear latex gloves you will see be asked to use hand sanitizer on them.
You can bring your donation blankets to “drop off” to this event also. If you have questions, feel free to contact Deb Miller –[email protected] 865 719-2862
