On-Going Needs: 

Support Mend-It Cafe: 

If you sew: Come mend with us!  We have menders at every level. There are menders that hand stitch only, hobbyists that prefer to do hems and patches, educators that like to engage with the client while mending, and professionals that do it all. Whatever your skill level we have mends for you.  Fill out this form to get started

If you don’t sew, but love Mend-It Cafe: We always need people to help facilitate the events. From checking in clients, managing the mend flow, getting sewists materials from our supplies to taking pictures of clients and their finished mends, we’ve got a way for you to participate.

Support Re:CraftLAB

Re:CraftLAB is an SZW program thatupcycles a range of flexible materials and textiles into durable goods with a purpose. We divert materials like vinyl banners, promotional scrim, clothing and bicycle inner tubes from the waste stream and transform them into items that support a circular economy. Additionally we train immigrant and refugee women in the production of our products and contract them to fulfill orders.
Our products help  non-profits, retailers and agencies showcase their commitment to reuse and sustainability. 

If you can use a pair of scissors, you can help Re:CraftLAB.
We need some extra hands to cut materials. Your help preparing materials enables us to put our sewists to work,  produce upcycled products at a competitive price and keep waste out of the incinerator or landfill.  We can’t do this without you!

Two people talking at a table with a sign that reads, 'STOP PLASTIC POLLUTION.' One person is a woman wearing a blue vest and talking, while the other is a man wearing a black jacket and listening. There are various informational pamphlets on the table, and a wall behind them is decorated with numerous colorful patches or badges.
