Food Pantry: Make No-Sew T-shirt Bags

Save to Favorites

Need a project to do at home? We need bags for the food pantry. Recycle your old t-shirts into no-sew t-shirt bags.

Due to the increased demand on our pantry, we are in need of bags. Making no-sew t-shirt bags is a great project that you can do from home and allows you to re-purposes an old t-shirt.​ No-sew t-shirt bags are sturdier than plastic bags, can hold more food items, and be re-used. This project is also kid-friendly and environmentally-friendly. For directions on how to make a No-Sew T-shirt Bag, click here: https://www.bidwellriverside.org/no-sew-tshirt-bags

We also need used plastic grocery bags, paper grocery bags and cloth bags.
