Tough times place high demands on shelters. Help where you can by sewing items they need and help others get on their feet.
1. Sew for Shelters

Many domestic violence shelter residents end up there with nothing but the clothes on their back. Fire and flood victims usually end up out of their home grateful to be alive but without any of their belongings. The Red Cross can not accept these kits due to federal regulations but many churches and shelters would be thrilled to receive these kits. Use your groups skills to sew up a pile in an afternoon!
It's a sad fact but homeless shelters run out of room. Hand them blankets so they can hand them out to those they can't shelter for a night.

2. Sew for Animal Shelters

With the dawning of spring comes the inevitable kittens and puppies that fill animal shelters, taxing the resources of animal rescue organizations. If you're like me, you don't part with scraps of fabric... and they are over flowing their containers. A cat nip toy only takes tiny scraps of fabric...and I bet a cat won't even mind if the whole mouse isn't the same fabric.
