We are excited to announce our Saturday Sewing volunteer program that will allow you to use your creative and crafty, skills! Even for those who want to become more creative and crafty this opportunity is for you! On select Saturdays I will be hosting volunteers to work on a specific project together. For instance, this Saturday we will work together on a project to make these cute drawstring bag kits! See at https://www.facebook.com/MitsyKit/posts/1372884249523826
Come enjoy spending time with other like minded volunteers, learn a new skill, all while making a difference for the elderly, disabled, and those in financial need. This Saturday our workshop will start at 9:30 am and run until 1:30 pm. If you can make it any time between these hours please let me know. Location is First United Baptist Church at 99 Church Street Lowell MA. If you can’t make it this Saturday, keep an eye out for future Saturday Sewing projects that will be announced on Volunteer Match. I look forward to hearing from you! Tammy 207-831-8144

Mission Statement
We help to connect lives and create memories with accessible, quality craft activities.
Description
Mitsy kit was initially developed to help the blind and visually impaired to find joy and purpose through the activity of sewing and quilting by touch, using our patented tactile sewing system and method of use. We soon realized that many others, in addition to the blind, benefited from our kits to re-engage in meaningful activities. This prompted provision of our kits and services to support a broader community including those with memory impairment, autism, aphasia, traumatic brain injury, and other seniors and children with or without physical or cognitive disability.
Organizations served include Centers for the blind and low vision, Senior Centers and Council On Aging, Nursing Homes and Assisted Living, and Dementia residential care facilities, as well as activity programs for the disabled.
Although our current products are sewing and quilting focused, we are committed in the long term to designing new kits to meet the needs of the diverse population we serve.
