The Grange is continuing to produce handmade quilts for Project Linus! Project Linus provides quilts made with love for children in stressful or traumatic situations. We meet every other month, on the odd numbered months, on the 4th Monday of the month. Judy (our Chaplin) buys the fleece and the Grange reimburses her. We make no-sew quilts. We take two identically sized and shaped pieces of fleece , line them up back to back, cut fringe around all four sides, and then tie the fringe together, making a blanket. It’s then sent to Project Linus, a national non-profit that provides hand made new blankets such as ours to children in traumatic situations. Folks do not need to be Grange members to participate. We need more tools to make these blankets such as mat, scissors, rotary cutter, clear ruler, guide. If you come and you have any of these tools, it would be great if you could bring them. For more information please email chaplin@sallalgrange.org or cwa@sallalgrange.org  Smiling volunteers show off the blankets they made for Project Linus
Several grangers got their food handler permits in order to help out at our functions, so we’re using them to help out the Mt. Si Helping Hands Food Bank. Every Tuesday in January and February volunteers from the Sallal Grange will be in the North Bend QFC gathering dairy and perishable items. These will be kept in coolers, and dropped off that night for distribution on Wednesday. PLEASE NO MILK, or eggs. Cheese is very welcome, as well as flavored yogurts, or even soy or almond milk. This is a way for us to give to the foodbank something more than just cans and boxes. Collection times vary by when our volunteers can help out. If you’d like to volunteer (you don’t have to be a member, just willing to do a good deed. And you don’t need a food handler permit, we’ll tell you all you need to know) please email cwa@sallalgrange.org  Friend of the Grange Daniel and our mascot
