Quilted for Community
a fundraiser to support the Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent (SRS).
This is a Community Showcase and a Quilt Sale to support your favorite non-profit. Come see the first ever “Nooks and Crannies Tour” of the SRS. Savor tasty treats prepared by some of the best cooks in Portage County. Learn about the agencies that help the hungry in your neighborhood. See quilts that have never been publicly displayed before – and create a family tradition by acquiring one. Shop the Socially Responsible Sweatshop’s special array of products. Meet the volunteers of the SRS community. Come support the Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent, a local treasure working hard “to sustain the earth and the hungry” at the Historic Christ Episcopal Church, 118 S. Mantua St., Kent, Saturday, March 21, noon to 3 p.m. Bring your family, friends and neighbors and discover what the New York Times discovered last month about Kent’s treasure.

Quilts offered for Sale. More than 40 quilts will be offered for sale. They range from small wall hangings to lap and bed-sized quilts (twin to king size). Five will be auctioned off. The drawing for the SRS quilt raffle will take place during this event.
