Towamencin Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) presented their Community Service Award to the Stitching Sisters group, at the chapter’s first meeting of the 2020-2021 year, held via Zoom on Saturday, September 12. The award was accepted by Stitching Sisters member Karen Fallows.
The Stitching Sisters was created in 2013 at the Christ United Methodist Church, on Valley Forge Road in Lansdale, with the purposes of serving others with their gifts and gathering for fun and fellowship. Their first project was sweaters for the World Vision Organization.
While they support their church family with items such as prayer shawls, blankets, and small gifts for Breakfast with Santa, among others, they have also gone outside their walls to support the community and beyond.
The group has made hats, scarves, mittens, blankets and other items for Lansdale’s Code Blue Shelter, Mitzvah Circle, Manna on Main Street, hospitals and nursing homes. Recently the group has provided needed items to schools for foster children located in the southern USA, the Chemawa Indian Boarding School in Oregon, the homeless through Hope Rescue Mission, and homeless women veterans through Mary E. Walker House in Coatesville.
The Stitching Sisters also made gifts for the Christmas Angel Tree, a program that assists less fortunate children in the North Penn area. Last year they serviced 200 local children in need, as identified by Manna on Main Street.
