Hi Jane,
Please fill out the application that’s attached to this website under “contact”. Our board reviews applications quarterly. As we’ve done much work in the Gulf Coast and continue to do so, I’m sure we can find a way to help you out.

Thank you so much for contacting us!

Dear Ladies:
I saw your company and Margaret Jankowski on the WLPB Saturday morning sewing TV shows yesterday morning. I survived Katrina, but I know my serger was flooded and my sewing machine sat in a storage unit for five years, completely unattended. I have been sewing for my neighborhood since I got my trailer in January of 2006, everything being done by hand.
Can you tell me where I could sign up for a sewing machine? Or maybe a serger? I don’t expect anything for free, because I know situations are difficult for everybody, but if you can point me in the direction of a company that is offering pay plans for sewing machines/sergers, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Jane Batty

Hi Mable,
I’m sure there are small cottage industries who could use home sewers. I would suggest checking in one’s area to see what opportunities there are.

I understand that there are many in the US who could use this type of help. We are doing what we can to help who we can.

Thank you so much for your note!

Margaret

During these economic times there are many others across USA are in need of help. Many have sewing talents that would
like to do Home Sewing . Some could do this as a means to help themself and others to help put food on their table. Many just need and want to WORK from home doing various jobs. Are there any Companies that are willing to use these talents to help Families here in the USA to bring income?

I am a member of the General Federation Womens Club and heard about your organization through “Nancy Sews.” I am inspired about your stories for families, who have a need for new and used sewing machines. I would like to know how I may help to contribute to the need. Our club is in the Pinellas County, Florida area and my committee focus is on home life. Please email me for further information. Thank you,
Linda Kiburz
