Thank You to our volunteers, supporters and donators in helping Central Volunteer Sewers achieve our goals! I am deeply touched whenever we hand over our donations to WIN House. Here’s what their representative had to say on her last visit to Central Sewing:I have been working with Edmonton Women’s Shelter Ltd. for almost 2 years now and watched everyone else go do the “Central Sewing” pickup. I was so overwhelmed by the volunteers, excitement and beauty of the work yesterday that I couldn’t wait to thank my Executive Director for sending me. This job often makes me grateful and humble for the life I now lead... Your ded-ication to provide to those in need with such love and devo-tion is amazing. I’m so proud to have met the group. Goals are achievable! Join us! christine
