Mats for the Needy/Plarning

About this event
Plarning is making yarn out of plastic strips (plarn) cut from grocery bags. The strips area crocheted into 3'x6' mats that are distributed to the homeless. The mats are lightweight, washable, bug resistant and also benefit our environment by putting the plastic bags to good use instead of our landfills. Approximately 700-1,000 bags are used to complete one mat. We always need volunteers to sort, cut or crochet. If this interests you, why not join in and help provide a means for a needy cause and pass a good deed forward! We'd love to have you!
