Working to make Woodend plastic bag free.
Woodend Community Bags are taking the town by storm in a positive step toward making Woodend plastic bag free.
​
Volunteers from all walks of life are getting together at the Woodend Neighbourhood House to make reusable Woodend Community Bags- Boomerang Bags from recycled materials.
There are many ways to be involved and sewing skills aren’t necessary!
Over a cuppa, cake, a chat and a giggle, you can learn how to sew, cut, pin, bundle, and iron... and make some lovely friends.
Where should people donate materials?
​
Materials can be dropped off at the Woodend Neighbourhood House between 9.30am – 3pm Monday to Friday in term time.
​
How can I get involved?
​
Sewing bees take place weekly at the Woodend Neighbourhood House in the Undercroft, 9.30am-12.30pm on Thursdays. Drop-in at any time – no sewing skills required!
