Community Service
Pacific Fabrics & Crafts has served the
Pacific Northwest for nearly 90 years. Our ties to the local
community are strong and we believe in giving back to our community
whenever possible. We support both local and national organizations
with gifts and with help in their fundraising efforts in the Pacific
Northwest.
Project Linus
Project Linus is a national non-profit organization with the mission
of putting a hand-made blanket in the arms of every ill or
traumatized child. We have a strong affiliation with the (very
active) local chapters. Twice each year we sponsor a fabric drive to
collect no-longer-needed cottons and flannels in return for an
in-store discount. The fabric is then prepared and sewn into quilts
at our bi-annual Blanket Bees where customers, Project Linus
volunteers and our staff gather in each store to cut, sew and
assemble the quilts.
The generosity of the volunteers is inspiring! As many as 300 quilts
have been assembled in one day, plus many more are turned in already
finished. Make a difference in a child’s life - check our current
events calendar for details about upcoming Fabric Drives and Blanket
Bees.
Our stores also serve as a year-round drop off point for donations
of fabric and finished blankets for those can not make it to our
events. Knitted and crocheted blankets are also welcome.
