Excited to share an event I'm producing to support kids in Pittsburgh who are scared right now and need a little extra love and support including recently resettled refugees, immigrants and kids from under-served neighborhoods. It's been a really tough January and we want to show ALL Pittsburgh kids that we care, they are welcome here, and they are not alone.
Come join Saturday, February 11th from 9AM-Noon for a Valentine's Day Crafting Party! We are going to make Valentine's Day Cards. I personally work at a refugee resettlement agency am coordinating with other agencies, ESL programs, Latino organizations and local organizations in Homewood, The Hill and Larimer to distribute these cards on 2/14.
HP neighbors own the space the shop is in and a few HP moms are helping me plan and organize this event so it's a real team effort.
Flier attached! This event is FREE to the public and extremely family-friendly. It's in the AM before naptimes. We'll have story-telling, music and a play area for any kids too young to craft.
Come get crafty with us! All crafting supplies will be provided though you are welcome to bring your own too.
In addition to craft supplies we’ll have FREE coffee and breakfast items. Plus we’ll have artists, art teachers and crafty people on-site to help anyone who is less than crafty. Being good at card-making is not a pre-requisite! A full team of volunteers will also be on-site.
