Knit/Crochet Project
Do you like to knit or crochet? The women who arrive at Sojourner Center often come without any personal possessions. The “purses” that you make are filled with personal hygiene items and are very much appreciated. You can use leftover yarn and any color combination you choose. Completed purses can be brought to the church office. For more information or if you need yarn contact Chris Mahon at 480-893-2579 x130 or cmahon@mvlutheran.org.
