Women's Sewing
Although the Women's Sewing Group is one of our smaller programs, it is one that impacts the lives of participants in many ways. To date, participants have been Spanish-speaking women, and most often primary caregivers for multiple children.
In developing sewing skills, the women can: a) save money within their own households; and b) develop a marketable skill that can enhance their household incomes. Additionally, the sewing group fosters a social network that can negate some of the isolation many immigrant women feel upon leaving their family and friends in their native country. Thirty women participate in the program yearly.
The Sewing Group meets weekly on Friday mornings at 9:30. New students welcome!
