For decades, Heritage Pointe of Warren has impacted its community through gifts made by the sewing room volunteers.

The report for 2017 shows nearly 300 bears, more than 275 dolls and numerous other items were made and donated to area hospitals, homeless shelters, daycares, abuse help centers and other organizations.

The volunteers in the sewing room for 2017 were Ruth Herring, Janice Ryan, Joyce Buzzard, Diane Winkler, Linda Kreiger, Mona Fletcher and Carol Tribolet. The group sews on Tuesdays and Fridays and helps clean molds for the ceramics room on Mondays.

The sewing group makes Veteran quilts for veterans in Heritage Pointe of Warren. They make cancer hats, pillowcases, port pillows, lap throws and many other items.

In addition to items donated to local organizations and hospitals, the sewing group assists with repairing residents’ clothing - from hemming 30 to 40 pairs of pants each year, to mending zippers, to sewing on buttons. The group also contributes by finishing items to be sold in Heritage Pointe of Warren’s onsite gift shop.
