Welcome to SewGreen!



	Donations SewGreen thrives because of your generosity. When you no longer want your collection – large or small – of fabric, yarn, sewing notions and needlecraft supplies, or your old sewing machine, please think of us. Through the rescue and resale of materials, we earn funds to support our youth programs and other community services. Donations must be in clear plastic bags – no boxes or black garbage bags – and must meet our guidelines. Donated materials and machines may be dropped off any time during store hours. The single drop-off limit is 5 large bags and/or 3 portable sewing machines. For larger quantities and table machines, please contact us first.
