Do you know how to sew? We need your help in sewing Christmas bags for the young adults we serve at Covenant House Alaska. We use these bags to help us organize Christmas gifts for roughly 200+ youth. Not only is the bag helpful for us, it becomes a gift in itself that youth can use as a laundry bag all year round.
Suggested size is 24"W x 30" L with a drawstring top. Some bags with a more flexible fabric would help to accommodate large boxes. A variety of fun fabrics helps us to personalize things; especially patterns that are gender-neutral.
We'd like to receive most of these bags by December 18th for Christmas use.
They can be mailed or dropped off at 755 A Street, ATTN: Holly Payne, Anchorage, AK 99501
