Volunteer Opportunity: Sleeping Mat Project

Did you know recycled grocery bags can create colorful, woven mats for homeless individuals in your community? Through a partnership with Integrate for Good, we will learn different parts of the project including cutting bags, making loops, making "plarn" (plastic yarn), and weaving the mats on a loom.

If you plan on bringing a group of 5 or more people, contact youthservices@ivpl.org.
