Help the Eliot School kick off our 350th anniversary celebrations with Sew Many Mittens—a community service event where we will create 350 pairs of mittens out of recycled wool to provide warmth and comfort to those in need during the cold winter months. Our partners, Friends of Boston’s Homeless, will distribute everything we create to unhoused people across the Greater Boston area.
To make this possible, we need volunteers of all ages and skill levels to help us make mittens—no sewing experience required! Volunteers will enjoy a DJ spinning great tunes, complemented by tasty snacks, warm beverages, and meaningful conversations.
Join a three-hour shift or stay for the whole day. Our 9 AM-12 PM shift is already full, and our 12-3 PM shift is close behind, but we still need more sign-ups for our 3-6 PM and 6-9 PM shifts!
Register yourself or your group to volunteer here: https://forms.gle/E8bqh5oFdV68Hacf8
Can’t make it, but still want to help out? We also need donations of gently used or new 100% wool clothing or blankets (holes are fine) by Friday, December 5. Drop them off at our Schoolhouse or Annex location Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM.
