GFWC Kansas City athenaeum

​GFWC Kansas City Athenaeum donated $10,000 to The Sewing Labs in Kansas City in January. The Sewing Labs coordinates community service needs.  Athenaeum members have made more than 3,000 protective face masks that The Sewing Labs distributed to schools, nursing homes, day care centers, and other places making urgent requests.  In addition, Athenaeum members have sewn dozens of canvas tote bags for The Sewing Labs in their partnership with Volunteer KC who printed the canvas with emergency resources for homeless individuals. One side of the bag has a Kansas City street map, and the other side lists the locations for assistance resources.
