Little Dresses for Africa
Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit, Christian based organization which provides relief to the children of Africa. Simple dresses are made out of pillow cases and distributed through the orphanages in Central Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy!
Knowing the history of the girls in Africa and the difficult road that lay ahead, a small group of ladies returning from a short term mission trip to Malawi began to sew simple little dresses made out of pillow cases to be distributed to young girls through the orphanages in Africa. It continues to grow as groups spring up across America. To date we have received dresses and donations from 47 states across the USA and received over 35,000 little dresses that have been distributed in 10 countries of Africa!
With Little Dresses for Africa, there are many ways to provide help;from starting or hosting your own sewing group, sizing and packaging dresses, or donating financially toward shipping costs. Little Dresses for Africa will deliver the dresses to the grateful little girls of Africa.

The Anti-Ouch Pouch is a pillow that hangs from the shoulder, fitting snugly under the arm to cushion the area after breast surgery or during radiation treatment. surgery.The wedge shape gently holds the arm away from the body when the user is standing. The strap holds the pillow in place without having to use sore arm muscles to “clutch” it.The strap is adjustable and the fiberfill may be adjusted via the overlapped opening.
We are a drop off point for quilts and crochet goods for Project Linus.
