Community Crafters Organization Seeks Volunteer Support and Future Space
Brenda Davenport presented 'Community Crafters Crafting Community,' a fledgling organization that uses donated materials for crafting, with the goal of donating finished items to other community organizations. They have donated to food banks and ministries. Another project, 'Reading with Friends,' aims to engage children with stories, books, and related crafts, and Davenport invited community leaders, including council members, to participate as readers.
