Workforce development training and community service through sewing.
New Partnership!
We're "sew" so happy to announce a new partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - OH, Montgomery Co!
For those of you that may not know about Sleep in Heavenly Peace, their mantra is "NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN". They do this by building and donating complete beds to children in need.
Each bed includes the frame, mattress, pillow, sheets and comforter/quilt.
The need for beds is huge!
Sleep in Heavenly Peace built and donated 530 beds in 2023....their first year in operation in Montgomery County. They already have a waiting list of 1,000 beds going into 2024 for kids in Montgomery County!
It is our Dayton Sewing Collaborative goal in 2024 to make and donate at least 300 quilt/comforters and matching pillow cases. We need your help!
