Letter: The count is in
Shares
What a year this has been for all of us, including the blanketeers of Project Linus of Yolo County. We were not able to gather at the Davis Senior Center for most of the year and so we had to revise our way of getting blankets to the various groups we support.
The final blanket count is in for 2020. We are happy to report that our chapter had 10 blanket drop off days from April through November and distributed more than 1,660 handmade blankets to the Yolo Crisis Nursery, Empower Yolo, CommuniCare Health Center-Davis, CommuniCare Behavior Health Services-West Sacramento, Family Hui-Davis, Yolo County Children’s Alliance, Fourth & Hope, Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, Woodland United Way, Progress Ranch, Woodland Police Department, Woodland Fire Department, Child Protective Services-Woodland and Woodland Joint Unified School District

Even amid the challenges of the pandemic, STEAC, the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, brought the spirit of the season to more than 425 individuals and families through its 53rd annual holiday program.
On Saturday, Dec. 15, prequalified recipients lined up in their cars for a drive-through distribution of hand-selected food and gifts donated by Davis families, groups, and individuals who “adopted” them for the holidays.
