Crochet Sleeping Mats – August

By

Volunteers crochet sleeping mats using plastic bags.

The grocery story bags are made into plarn (plastic yarn) and then crocheted into sturdy and water resistant sleeping mats that are very useful for people who have to sleep on the ground.

Bring your bags and your crochet hooks!
