| How to help
Donations are a wonderful gift to this effort. We are a non-profit group under the umbrella of the Rochester Chapter of the American Sewing Guild (ASG). The ASG is not-for-profit 401(c)(3) group and all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Monetary donations
With donated funds we are able to buy fabric, thread, ribbon and other items needed to complete the projects. Any donations are used exclusively for this purpose. Checks should be made payable to the ASG Rochester Chapter and sent to either of the following addresses:
Louise Gadbois, President
48 Stanton Street
Rochester, NY 14611
Shirley Shaw , Treasurer
19 Da Vinci Drive
Rochester
, NY 14624
Fabric donations
Knit fabric must be cotton or cotton blend – no lycra or spandex included and no 100% polyester. Cotton calico can be used for the comfort caps. All fabric must be at least 1 yard in length and full width. Please contact us at
before dropping off fabric at any locations.
Volunteers
There is a dedicated group of volunteers who keep this project moving forward. High school groups and Girl Scout troops have continued to provide help and it also provides them with a learning experience. |
