Fabric Donations for Catholic Charities of Maine

Catholic Charities Refugee and Immigration Services Dept. works with refugees who have been resettled in Portland after living up to 15 years in a refugee camp. The goal of this agency is to teach the refugee women how to be self-sufficient. These women would like to be able to use their skills to support their families but do not have the material resources.  Catholic Charities is forming a co-op where the women can sew bags which will be sold in local grocery stores and boutiques. If you have unwanted fabric and would like to help support this program, drop it off any time at Cotton Weeds and we will make sure they receive it. We are pleased to support this program and hope you will help.
