This year Council and Vinnies are joining forces to bring to the Highlands a sewing workshop that gives back.Join us for a meaningful and creative day of sewing festive Christmas Hamper Bags that will help bring joy to people across the Southern Highlands community. Sewing is a wonderful way to use your creativity while making a positive difference in the lives of others.
The handmade bags will be distributed through the three Southern Highlands St Vincent de Paul Conferences.
What is Conference?
A Conference is a local group of St Vincent de Paul Society members who volunteer their time to support individuals and families experiencing hardship.
Dedicated members visit people in need, provide practical assistance, and offer compassion and support throughout the year to the most vulnerable people in our community.
If you'd like to bring in your own sewing machine, we are offering a free electrical tag and test service, if you drop the sewing machine off before 9am on Thursday 12th November.
Please make sure you let us know you intend to drop it off beforehand so we can assist - 0417 847 492
Why Hamper Bags?
With the rising cost of living continuing to place significant pressure on many households, the Vinnies Christmas Appeal plays an important role in helping to ease financial stress during the festive season.
By creating a Christmas hamper bag, you are not only contributing a practical item that will be packed with grocery items, but also adding a personal touch of care, dignity, and festive cheer to each hamper.
This event is brought to you by the passionate Volunteers of the Vinnies Creative Space Community Outreach team in partnership with Council.
Come along, enjoy good company, learn or share sewing skills, and help our St Vincent de Paul Conference members spread hope, happiness, and Christmas joy to those who need it most.
What to bring:
A lidded reusable cup if you have one.
CS will supply Tea, Coffee and refreshments (and wifi)
We have plenty of sewing supplies but feel free to bring fabric and cording etc along if you have some?
