LWR Fabric Kits are specifically designed to help people coping with poverty, disaster, conflict and more. Sewing is a valuable skill that can help men and women earn reliable income. Lutheran World Relief Fabric Kits provide fabric and thread for vocational training programs teaching sewing and for newly trained tailors to launch their sewing businesses. LWR Fabric Kits are highly regarded throughout the world because of their quality and consistency.
On Tuesday, June 20, 2-5 p.m., you are invited to help cut fabric and assemble the LWR Fabric Kits. (Please contact Pastor Valerie at vstrand@spdlc.org if you would like to do this.)
In the meantime, we are collecting the following items:
- Spools of matching or neutral-colored, general purpose thread 250-300 yards each
- Cotton or cotton-blend fabric (no knits)
- Fabric should NOT have religious symbols, messages, US flags, patriotic or military symbols or camouflage.
Each piece should be at least as large as the following dimensions. We will cut the fabric to the appropriate size.
- 60” wide fabric 2 1/4 yards
- 44” wide fabric 3 yards
- 36” wide fabric 4 yards
The due date for fabric and thread donations is June 1, 2023.
