Want to give back to our local community? Please consider this wonderful opportunity for teens as all handmade pillows will be graciously donated to patients who have finished breast cancer surgery! We are currently very low on our supply and could use your help🩷
We're hosting a Sew-a-thon for breast cancer awareness on Oct. 28., from 6 to 8 p.m. Items will be donated to Inova Peterson Life with Cancer, a program of the Inova Schar Cancer Institute. Learn how to create pit pillows for those who need them on their cancer journey. Words of affirmation and a stuffing station will be available as we assemble the love. For teens.
