Welcome to the Afghan Project™!
We'd love to have you participate.
Our goal is to provide a personalized afghan for every foster child in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. At any time, there are many thousands of foster children in the state, ranging in age from newborn to adolescent.
The Afghan Project™ has delivered many thousands of afghans to foster children in Massachusetts!
Award for the Afghan Project™
History of the Afghan Project™
In the spring of 1998, in a group of seniors who meet monthly at a local library, a woman mentioned that she was lonely and bored. Could Nancy think of something she might do? Nancy said, "Make me a square, and I will find a way to use it." And the Afghan Project™ was born.
After several calls, Nancy connected with the Department of Social Services, Contribution Division, and they were delighted to be able to give the afghans as something special to foster children so the children could have something to hold on to as their own. Each child receives an afghan with his or her own name embroidered on it.
Leah, from South Africa, creates 3 or 4 beautiful afghans each month for the Afghan Project™. |
Grace created an afghan for a foster child attending a military academy. |
 Jim knits and delivers afghans. |
 Personalized Afghans Every afghan is made for a specific foster child and has the child's name sewn onto the afghan!
