SOS Debuts Greet Cards, Gets Volunteers, and Sews Quilt Blocks

Mary Ann Cain & Marsha Watson have a talent and passion for card making. They, along with friends from Trinity UMC, collected a variety of stamps, ink pads, papers and a few other items to be used for the new SOS Greet Card line. Yesterday Mary Ann and Marsha were able to give a tutorial for basic stamping instructions and specific instructions for several holiday cards that will be sold individually or in packs of six.

Yesterday we were also lucky enough to have a group of students from Goshen College come volunteer with us. They were participating in the Goshen College Celebrate Service Day. Our SOS Production Manager was able to put most of them to work moving and arranging things between two of our storage garages.

The remaining students helped with the food pantry and cleaning a printer that had quit working several weeks ago.

Today Brenda Miller and Darlene McKinney joined the SOS women in helping them with some quilt blocks they’ve been working on. Despite the sewing portion of the SOS program being scaled back due to demands of other portions of the class, the women still receive assistance with mending and altering pieces of clothing.The quilt blocks that they are currently working on will be sewn together to make a banner that will eventually be used to decorate the SOS classroom.
