The Merville Grandmothers are calling for excess fabric as they prepare for their annual Fabulous Fabric Sale.
The group is looking for donations of fabric including cottons, jersey, fleece, corduroy, denim and specialty fabrics like woolens, silks, satins, upholstery and quilting materials as they prepare for their annual September sale.
"Now is the time to clear out that excess fabric from your cupboard and donate to make a difference and help us support grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa," a release from the Grandmothers says.
The group has been active in the Comox Valley since 2007. Since then they have found creative ways to raise funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, which links Canadian grandmothers to grandmothers in Africa who are raising grandchildren and providing leadership in their communities.
Donations can be dropped off at the Potters Place in Courtenay through the summer. People can also arrange for pickup by calling Anne at 250-338-1168.
"Mark your calendar for September 21st and stay tuned for further details about this fabulous fabric sale!" the release says.
