Do you have a heart to help the homeless? Do you knit or crochet, or would you like to learn? Join us in our partnership with Family Promise Morris as we upcycle grocery store bags into sleeping mats for homeless persons. This will be an ongoing project. Drop in the first Saturday of each month (April through October) when you can between 1 and 5 pm. We can teach you to knit or crochet.
