Women of all faiths are invited to come together in sisterhood and service. Various projects will be ongoing either putting together hygiene kits for Days for Girls, sorting food donations, or preparing quilts for Project Linus at 18900 Kingsview Road in Germantown. A separate group of women will be sorting clothing at the Interfaith Work Clothing Center at 751 Twinbrook Parkway.
Young Women are welcome and can earn SSL hours for their participation! If you can sew, come and join us!
Lunch will be provided.
