We started out the Thread City Mend-a-thon with these piles of clothes that needed mending. We had over thirteen volunteers this afternoon that came to help out.
The bin is filled with the clothes that we fixed. There are 5 pieces of clothing that we didn't get to.
A huge thank you to Silas Brassard for creating and organizing the event. A huge thank you to everyone that came out and lended their sewing skills. A special thank you to Laura and Molly from the UCONN Natural Resources Academy for your support.
These clothes have a new life. They will be put on the racks of WAIM for folks to take rather than go to a landfill. ... See MoreSee Less
