HOLLAND, Ohio -- Saturday is National Blanket Day. To celebrate, a group of community members in Holland set aside time to make blankets for children in need.

Saturday's event was part of "Project Linus" which provides handmade blankets to kids 18 and under who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need.

Sewers, knitters, crocheters, and quilters around the area have created and donated about 19,000 blankets to different kids since 2005 when the local chapter of Project Linus began at Living Faith United Methodist Church.
