September Community Service Journey Bags for Displaced Children
to benefit All Star Children's Foundation
The event will be held at Flash and Sew on September 12, 2025. Set up begins at 10:15, with the Community Sew starting at 10:30.
Lou Burns, with Anything Sews, is overseeing the Community Service Project. Journey Bags kits will be provided that day. There are plenty of jobs to go around. We will also need cutters, ironers, quality control and encouragers.
Lou has already dropped of 30 journey bags to the All Star Children's Foundation. They were delighted! She was given a tour of the Campus and was impressed that they provide so many services to foster, and displaced children in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. The need is great - they will take all the bags we can make, so let's get sewing!
Check out their web site for more information on this organization allstarchildren.org
For more information on the sew event, contact Lou at (941) 377-4157 or lou@sgcasg.org.
The need is great, so come out at help on the 12th, and let's get sewing!
