Skagit
County 2009 Low-Income Needs Assessment

SCCAA’s “Low-Income
Needs Assessment”, conducted every four years, is the foundation of planning
efforts for Community Action and other public and private, nonprofit service

a pivotal time, given the current economic turbulent times, and provides
valuable updated data around employment, housing, health, and other key

A
Common Thread: a
blanket-raising project |
|
 A
Common Thread and Project Linus are working together to raise 100
handmade (machine-washable) blankets for children in need to be
distributed in Skagit and Whatcom counties by March 31.
Anne Schreivogl
is a full time
painter and a part-time knitter. Ten years ago she put down her
needles and picked up her brushes thinking she could not do both.
This summer she challenged this belief and just completed her first
afghan. How fun!
Now she would like her knitting to
benefit others.
Join the
A Common Thread:
a blanket raising project,
with the goal of creating 100 handmade blankets before the tulips
bloom in the spring!
I hope you will consider joining in the
fun! To learn more call 360-293-8988, 360-856-4567 or
www.blanketsforcharity.com. Thank you for any help!
Some of the blankets
are on display at Skagit County Community Action Agency. Staff
members are grateful for the blankets.
“We see the need in the
homes, but many people do not like to ask for material items. The
appreciation is evident when you offer a Mom a blanket for her baby
or child. Often times, to see the expression of gratitude in their
faces is felt beyond any words they could possibly express.” |
