AllFreeSewing Hosts Successful Pillowcase Charity Drive
June 13 , 2017Northbrook, IL – AllFreeSewing proudly wrapped up its month-long Sew-a-Thon for Operation Christmas Child during the month of May. Readers donated a total of 1,102 handmade pillowcases for children in need around the world.
Pillowcases donated to Operation Christmas Child are placed in shoeboxes along with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items to be donated to children in need. Donations will be sent to the Operation Christmas Child Area Coordinator, Betsy Burnett, in Three Rivers, IL. A grand prize package was also provided by Plaid; Burnett is a Plaid ambassador.
“I am amazed at the talent and hard work that our readers put into our Sew-a-Thon”, said Ashley Jones, editor of AllFreeSewing.com. “Because of their sewing skills and generosity, these pillowcases can be used by children as regular pillowcases, bags, blankets, and security items. I’m so excited that we’ve surpassed our initial goal of 1,000 donations.”
Prime Publishing previously partnered with Operation Christmas Child in 2016 to help with shoebox donations and helped 3,965 children. This is the first year that AllFreeSewing has hosted a sew-a-thon on its site.
