Sew Many Reasons to Celebrate

Dear Friends of Hope,

Let’s celebrate together! Project Redwood of Tides Foundation has awarded us a grant that funds and enhances our Sew Much Hope and Cooking Up Hope programs for the next year. Not only does it provide funding for these two on-site vocational programs, but a portion of the grant provides funding for selected graduates to be awarded start-up funds for small businesses. It is their belief in these programs over the last 4 years, and the generosity through three previous grants, that has made the long-held dream of providing vocational programs for the students of and the community around Hope International possible. Thank you, Project Redwood!

Some of the first recipients of these business start-up funds will be a Sewing Cooperative of Sew Much Hope graduates who will be sharing space to begin their businesses. Abel, who we have introduced you to before, will be leading the endeavor.  We look forward to sharing with you all the beautiful details in the near future.

Speaking of beautiful details!  Here is a sneak peak of the Sew Much Hope students sewing the table runners that will grace the tables at our upcoming event. 

Will you please join us on May 13th at our 15 Years of Hope Celebration and Fundraiser in Seattle, as we celebrate these programs and all that has unfolded over the last 15 years. 

Sew Many Reasons to Celebrate,
Jackie
