Rick and Rita are dedicated volunteers at the Socially Responsible Sweatshop in Kent, Ohio.

The proceeds from their handcrafted items are combined with those of the SRS and contribute to alleviating food insecurity within the county.

Their creations, which include versatile reversible carry-all bags, utility bags, crossbody bags, mini bags, pouches, oven mitts, cotton napkins, fanny packs, and meditation pillows, are both beautiful and practical.

They utilize upcycled boat sails, donated fabrics, and woven plastic animal feed bags in their sewing projects.

Those interested in purchasing these unique items should visit the Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent booth at the Haymaker Farmers Market.

There are just a few samples of our products, below.
