The Bluffton Senior Center would like to thank Forever In Stitches and Rick and Ruth Grihalva for the very generous donation of a Pfaff hobby 1022 sewing machine. This great donation valued over $100.00 will be used during Deb Beer’s Sewing Workshops at the Senior Center were members learn to make new items which are then sold in the Senior Center gift store. March 11 will be the next workshop where the machine will get plenty of use making oven mitts. If you have any questions about Deb’s Sewing Workshops, contact Deb mornings at the Senior Center, 419-358-8971.
During March eight Bluffton and Pandora congregations will partner with Samaritan House and Crossroads Crisis Center in Lima, through the “Supply Our Sisters,” (SOS) program, according to Amy Mikesell.
SOS is a month-long collection of feminine hygiene products (pads and tampons of various types) and the churches are collection points.
“Women make up 32 percent of the homeless population. Feminine hygiene products are essential, but are rarely donated to homeless shelters and women’s resource centers,” said Mikesell.
