In 2026, we are partnering with Volunteer KC<\/a> to make canvas Navigational Bags designed for homeless people with a printed map of the city on one side and vital services on the other. VKC will fill the bags with essential items and distribute them to those in need. The printed canvas kits will be available at meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n

We will also continue this year to work with The Sewing Labs<\/a> to make handmade Walker Bags and Children’s Activity Bags for St. Luke’s Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patients will use the walker bags<\/strong> as they navigate life with a walker. These fun and durable bags are designed to hold phones, keys, a book, and other everyday items, bringing independence and freedom to patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
