Jessie’s Bags is currently
visiting locations in Delaware & Pennsylvania getting
volunteers to help us make bags for breast cancer survivors.
(we are willing to travel to other areas)
Our unique program is taken to senior centers, assisted living locations, Alzheimer’s facilities, nursing & rehab homes and active 55+ communities. We have visited University of Delaware, Middle Schools & Home Schools. We even do corporate Events.

Jessie's bags is on the road!
At one of our events we were invited to speak before the Delaware Council of Activity Professionals.
This gave us the opportunity to explain how we got started and talk about our
program to the people who schedule the programs.
We come to a location; we bring fabrics and some supplies. The volunteers are able to be creative and productive. They are designing the fabric scraps into tote bags. They enjoy talking to Jessie and we are working while we talk. It’s really Jessie’s sewing circle. You don’t have to sew to be a part of the process. Some volunteers just pull paper off of the fabric samples. At one of our 1 hour sessions (@ an Alzheimer’s location) the group as a whole processed 400 pieces of fabric and they loved the sense of accomplishment. They loved the beautiful fabric colors and textures...
Jessie will be 87 this month and has no plans to slow down….
We are looking for volunteers to join us …
If you would like to help spend as little as 1 hour with us
you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish in a short time. You can
join us once a week or once a month.
Most of our road trips to facilities are scheduled Mondays thru Thursday and occasionally on a Saturday.
