Sewing Days

Local charities might expect to see an influx of hand stitched donations. The Elkhart County Extension Homemakers and Purdue University Extension Service will sew for the greater good on Thursday.

The groups invite community members to join them in putting this pastime to work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Home and Family Arts Building on the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds in Goshen. While they are in need to volunteers who can help them sew their donations and who can provide sewing machines, they invite anyone to help out for the event, regardless of craft skills.

Lunch will be provided to all those who volunteer. To learn more about this opportunity, contact Volunteer Community Support Chairperson Ramona Huber at 642-4748.

Future sewing days will be held Jan. 10 and March 10, 2012.
