Meaningful Ways to Participate
If you want to look past shopping and skills, consider sewing for a cause. Organizations such as Project Linus take handmade quilts for hospitals, while Ryan's Case for Smiles collects bright, custom pillowcases to comfort children undergoing long hospital stays. Local arms of the American Sewing Guild also host community drives for items like chemo port covers and hospital gowns during September. [11, 12]
