We are a small group of ladies that gather at the church hall every Friday 11:00 to 3:00. It is a great time of fellowship & fun with each other while helping others. Everyone brings their own lunch and drink. Not everyone comes to the church but some sew clothing / bags, knit beanies and gather items to be drop off at the church for packing and sending.
Please Contact Us if you would like to join us or would like to donate money or items towards any of our projects.
