Help make a gift of hope and comfort. A handmade comforter provides not only warmth but a tangible reminder of hope and care to people when they need it most. We have several comforters ready to be knotted and your help is needed to finish them!

Come to the Fall Comforter Day on Saturday, November 14 starting at 9am here at Harrisburg BIC in the new Outreach Center (upstairs)! Stay all day, or an hour or two. No sewing experience is needed. If you can tie a knot, you can help finish a comforter – to help people in need around the world.

Open to everyone! Bring your friends and family. Student community service hours available. Bring your lunch if you plan to stay all day.

Completed comforters are donated to the Mennonite Central Committee’s (MCC’s) relief efforts. Check out their website for more info on their wonderful work at mcc.org. Other ways to help: Donate fabric (cotton), sew comforter tops, help prep the comforters for knotting.

We will start cleaning up around 2pm and would appreciate extra help! For more information, contact Kim Mumper.
