"Sewing Peace"
A job in a box!
Forty-seven sewing machines (56 in 2023, 55 in 2022, 70 in 2021, 48 in 2020, 43 in 2019 and 36 in 2018) from the District joined the Vermont shipment that made its way to New Jersey in September 2024. From there, the boxed machines will be shipped to partnering organizations in Albania, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda. A sewing machine is considered "A Job in a Box."
If you have a no-longer-used but working sewing machine, please consider donating it to the Sewing Peace project. Just bring it to your local transfer station (Ludlow or Springfield) and let the folks there know that you want to donate it to Sewing Peace. Thank you.
