Crafting for a Cause

Our first round of crafts will be delivered to Sleepless in Seattle this week! We will keep collecting through the end of November for Hope House.

The Green Bean’s Stitch & Bitch group is spending this fall crafting for a cause. We want to use the skills and talents we have to bless our community by making scarves, hats, blankets, slippers, gloves, or other items in partnership with Sleepless in Seattle and other non-profits. We want the joy of our work to bless others in this upcoming winter. If you are a knitter, crocheter, sewer, or other artisan, and would like to participate, please join us on Tuesday evenings (5:30-7pm) at the Green Bean.
