Beads of Courage are awarded to mostly pediatric patients for each procedure or treatment performed to combat their illness. Some patients collect so many beads that they string them into necklaces, and have so many necklaces, they need drawstring bags to hold those. Individuals or groups can sew bags at their own location, at times they determine. Please sew Beads of Courage labels onto bags during the construction process. See www.beadsofcourage.org for info on how to obtain labels, and for detailed instructions on how to sew bags with your donated fabrics
From Blue to Green is up-cycling based project that focuses on environmentally friendly ways to best serve our Tucson community. Our focus is up-cycling blue wrap typically found in hospital operating rooms. Each year hospitals around the world contribute to the 1 ton of blue wrap waste that gets sent to landfills. This plastic based material is perfect for up-cycling projects. We are currently making sleeping bags for the homeless and need volunteers who have access to a sewing machine or are able to sort and cut fabric.
