| Charity Sewing and Crafts Projects We are going to list as many charitable organizations that need sewing and crafts donations that we can find. Some of the charities will need people to sew quilts, pillows, wheelchair bags, toys, dolls etc and some of the charities really need donations. Our goal is to create a comprehensive directory of sewing, knitting, crocheting, and quilting charitable projects and organizations. We hope that this will be a valuable resource for you to use to donate your time or extra sewing supplies. If you have or know of a charitable organization that needs seamstresses or sewing supplies, please email us at allisonray@gmail.com and we will look at your website and include your information on this page. If you would like to share the stories about your groups sewing efforts for a charity and/or if you would like to include photos of your group sewing. We would love to post those stories and phots for others to read and share. |
