Community Service

Giving back is a vital part of a full and rewarding life. What could be more fulfilling than doing what you love to do (sewing) while contributing to the quality of life of others in need within your own community?

Throughout the country, ASG has become synonymous with charitable acts of sewing.

In May we participated with the national organization providing 105 pillowcases for Ronald McDonald House in Alburqueque, NM.

For the coming year, the national guild has selected the U.S.  Troops Drawstring Bag as the 2010 national community service project. A project of Operation Care Package, a non-profit organization that receives, fills and mails the drawstring bags to deployed service men and women from all branches of the armed forces. You can learn more about them at: www.operationcarepackages.org.

Please note: ASG headquarters will not be receiving or shipping the bags. We will not have a drop off area for them during the 2010 conference. The bags are to be mailed directly to Operation Care Package and can be shipped at any time to:

Operation Care Package
611 Wilcox St.
Joliet, IL. 60435

Our chapter's community service day will be in March 2010.
