Create Laundry Sachets for HOPE Community Services

Volunteers will bag laundry detergent, fold in a dryer sheet, cover them in fabric remnants and secure them with a thoughtful or inspiring note. This is a very practical need for many people, and it lets the recipients know that others are thinking of and supporting them. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old or 10 years old with an adult to participate in this event. All children 10 to 15 years old must be with an adult at all times and fill out a youth waiver.

PARKING: There is free parking for volunteers at the Westchester County Center. Let the parking attendant know you are there to volunteer for the 9/11 event. This project is a part of 9/11: Serve + Remember.
