Helping Hands organizations, CREW members and
friends meet at various community and committee events to select, cut and
assemble sewing kits using coordinating fabrics, cording, trim and buttons
donated by local commercial interior design firms. These kits are then sent to
area middle schools, high schools, colleges, and sewing clubs to be assembled.
When complete, a custom tag reading, “Made especially for you by CREW
Pittsburgh” is sewn into each Satchel.

When the finished bags are returned to our work
area, located in Centre City Tower in downtown Pittsburgh, they are then filled
with the contents described above before being delivered to our partners for
distribution to women throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania and beyond who are
undergoing chemotherapy.
