Crafting for the Homeless is in its second year of meeting on the first Sunday of the month from 1-3:00 pm at Brattleboro Area Jewish Community, Congregation Shir Heharim.
Some people come to learn to knit or crochet, others arrive with projects already underway. Some are members of BAJC; some are not. All are welcome! So far, we have donated over 5 dozen items to Groundworks
Collaborative, and we are also making knitted or crocheted squares to be stitched into afghans that we will sell to generate funds to purchase supplies.
Our meetings are lively and welcoming, with adults and children of both genders who talk and work and share ideas and thoughts. Some people take yarn home to continue their work on projects.
In addition to some funding from BAJC, we receive donations of yarn from people on an on-going basis and are always welcoming of more donations. For questions or comments, please call Janet Athens at (802) 254-8454 or email info@bajcvermont.org. Brattleboro Area Jewish Community, Congregation Shir Heharim is located at 151 Greenleaf Street in West Brattleboro.
***NOTE: our April gathering will be on April 10th
