DeanCorps
Here is a DeanCorps project that has just gotten off the ground. Founded on March 24, 2004 and now comprised of 17 members, the Blankets for America Project is made up of supporters of Howard Dean and his progressive agenda. They work together to make blankets and quilts for children who are at risk, live in shelters, or otherwise need support.
DeanCorps is an action arm of Democracy for America. Howard Dean's governorship was marked by support for families and children and DeanCorps celebrates this crucial emphasis by offering this service to our communities.

When you sign up, I would strongly advise you select the Daily Digest rather than the Individual Emails option. These people send a lot of messagesover 100 per month! A nice way to keep in touch!

Would crocheted afghans do? I don't know how to quilt. I can knit and crochet. It takes a long time to make one by any of these three methods. Let me know, please.

Hi, Gloral–
I got ahold of Nancy Pew who is running the project. She said crocheted blankets would be great and that they can use blankets anywhere from 12″ square (very tiny!) to the size for a single bed.
If you'd like to contact her, she said I can post her email address:
