NPower Services Launches Kindness Sewing Circle at
Celebration Lutheran Church on Feb. 7
NPower Services, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities, is thrilled to announce the launch of its new Kindness Sewing Circle. This integrated monthly gathering is open to people of all abilities and provides a creative space for participants to craft fabric projects that benefit others in need. In collaboration with Sew4Service and Celebration Lutheran Church, 10621 Auburn Rd., Chardon. This free event will take place on the first Friday of each month from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the church. The first four scheduled dates are Feb. 7, March 7, April 4 and May 7, 2025.
Sew4Service is a local charitable group whose volunteers dedicate their time, talents, and materials to create items that make a difference in the community. Past projects have included quilts, blankets, fabric books, holiday stockings, placemats, and hand-knit or crocheted items. Recipients include disaster victims, homeless people, veterans, cancer patients and others. Led by Anne Marie Wolfe, NPower Services’ Project Coordinator, the Kindness Sewing Circle is designed to provide individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to contribute to sewing and fiber arts projects that benefit meaningful causes. “I’m so excited to launch this program,” says Wolfe. “We’ve built strong partnerships with both Sew4Service and Celebration Lutheran Church, and together we’ve worked on projects that have brightened the lives of many. Project: Kindness is all about collaboration and making a positive impact—and I’m looking forward to seeing the good we accomplish by working together.” This free, welcoming event invites community members to come together and create handmade items that will make a lasting impact. Anyone interested in participating can email Anne Marie Wolfe at AnneMarie@NPowerServices.com or register online via the NPower Services website’s event calendar.
