Our bi-annual Arts & Crafts “Supplies” Swap was held this past April 2025. How it works is that you bring supplies that you no longer use and we give you one ticket per pound. You then go and “shop” for things you might need that other people no longer need. Upon checking out we weigh your “new items” and the same—for each you turn in one ticket. Any items left after the swap are either used for arts and craft classes at hosted by Volunteers for Community, donated to schools, given to local clubs such as Happy Hookers or Knit Wits, or dropped off at Who Gives A Scrap in Colorado Springs.
Camp Crafty with Dede and Friends was so much fun! About 15 kids participated the week of June 16, 2025 in crafting, creating, and of course, chatting. General consensus is the kids would love to do this again—so we will definitely plan for next summer. Perhaps we can fit in one afternoon this summer before everyone goes back to school. Thank you to all of the arts and crafts instructors and volunteers that helped create with the kids.
