sharefest workday quilting project - ROUND 2! Monday, June 6th!

The Monday Funday Sewday Workday is a go!

Join us at Oceanside Christian Fellowship (343 Coral Circle, El Segundo, CA 90245) on Monday, June 6. We will be continuing our Sharefest project, making quilts to welcome and comfort homeless women at Doors of Hope shelter.  We'll start at 10am, and go until we stop. 

The plan is to have a similar set up to our time together on May 14th, but on a smaller level.

A Unique Workday Project. Quilt Project.

Happy Mother's Day from Sharefest.

Today we would like to draw your attention not only to mothers but to women – in particular, homeless women and the women who care about homelessness. There is a unique Workday project that is taking place during our 8th Annual Workday on Saturday, May 14th. Doors of Hope Women's Shelter will be partnering together with Oceanside Christian Fellowship (OCF) to provide homeless women with temporary shelter, daily meals and showers, clean clothing, and counseling and spiritual guidance. Also, for the Workday Fabric Cafe and Joyce Sharifi will be overseeing the sewing of quilts at OCF for these women who need that special gift of tangible care and hope.

Sharefest is proud to have as part of its Workday such a creative collaboration between caring individuals and organizations to reach those in need in our communities. So today, as we celebrate the values and virtues of love, care and hope as embodied in mothers, let us not forget to extend and express such love, care and hope toward those neglected women in our communities.

Happy Mother's Day.
