Description

Binky Patrol is an all volunteer, national, non-profit organization that makes and distributes homemade blankets to children born drug-addicted, infected with or fighting other chronic and terminal illnesses, those who are abused, in foster care, or experiencing trauma of any kind. We have chapters throughout the US and would love to have more. ANYONE can volunteer. All ages and skill levels are welcome. If you have an open heart, and an hour a month - you can help us change lives. Get your company, group, school, club, or community involved! It's fun and easy. All blanket types are welcome. As long as they are homemade, soft, washable and from your heart, they are perfect.

  • Start a Chapter

    If you do start a local chapter, you will choose where your binkies are delivered to, keep track of binkies in/binkies out and keep National Headquarters updated with quarterly reports filed ONLINE. There are no quotas for Binky Patrol. We feel that if you make and deliver even just a few blankets per year, you are still making a difference in your community! Some of the fields in the form are so we can see how clearly you communicate. You will be asking for donations of materials to help your chapter, and possibly filling out grant requests. We have to make sure each chapter leader can communicate clearly, punctuation, complete sentences, not all caps, etc. Each chapter represents all chapters. We review applications weekly and will call you to visit before finalizing your chapter set up. THANK YOU so much for considering this! WOW! We know your time is valuable – we appreciate you want to help us with some of the time you have.

  • Court Ordered Community Service

    Before you choose Binky Patrol for your community service, make sure the agency, school, etc., you have to report your hours to will accept us. If you have contacted a local chapter and they will not accept community service, please alert BP National Headquarters, and we will figure it out. sfinch@binkypatrol.org – founder . Also, we’ve been doing this for a while and have to get a bit firmer on a few things. If this is to satisfy court-ordered community service hours, we now have more requirements, including a form of the required information. This is due to a few bad apples trying to turn in used blankets, items that didn’t fit our size requirements, and basically lying about what they did for the hours. We are also adding a new form for you to give us more details – your parole officer, etc. No hours will be given without this form being filled out. Once filled out, it will be sent to your PO for THEIR approval. You will be copied. Read this through, then click on the form link – STUDENTS have one link and can skip a bunch of this. Court-ordered hours – READ THROUGH THIS ALL THE WAY. Your link is also at the bottom of this page. Everyone can follow the instructions below. Only court-ordered community service people must fill out the form, not students. Dear volunteer, Let me start by saying how much we appreciate you have chosen to help us and the kids we serve by doing your community service hours through us. We know you are all trying to juggle jobs and kids AND get these hours done. We’ve made this as flexible as we can to allow people to do this remotely AND for the courts to trust you are actually doing the hours. That’s why we have so many pieces to it, so they will trust us, and our reputation remains strong to allow people to get their hours through us. This article is lengthy because it’s evolved over several years and has to be standard for the entire country and all situations. I know it may seem a bit strict or harsh, but we are so focused on the kids we serve and our limited volunteer time we had to get picky. If you have any questions about anything, please email me directly. Susan Finch, Founder Follow the link for more details.
