They also welcome gift cards for Michael's, Joanne's, and The Dollar Tree, as well as in-kind donations of the following:

wool

lace and trim

other sewing notions

ribbon

needles

tape

glue

scissors

paper

paints

Or your own suggestions!

Please contact Lizbeth Castrillon at 617-523-8125 or via email at lizbeth.castrillon@bostonabcd.org if you are interested in joining the class or making a donation. Items do not need to be new, but the NE/WE NSC asks that they be in good condition. The office is located at 1 Michelangelo Street in the North End, next door to the Copp's Hill Cemetery.
