Community Service Projects

Our 2025 Community Service Project will be to help The Sewing Labs make handmade Walker Bags and Children’s Activity Bags for St. Luke’s Hospital.

Patients will use the walker bags as they navigate life with a walker. These fun and durable bags are designed to hold phones, keys, a book, and other everyday items, bringing independence and freedom to patients.

An instructional sewing video is available on The Sewing Lab’s website:
