Blankets that Carry Care


 

Project Sleep Warm has been serving Santa Rosa for over twenty-five years, and the volunteers who show up on the third Saturday of every month deserve a real thank you. They gather here at the Center, needles and fabric in hand, to create comfortable blankets for people in our community who need them.

Twenty-five years of steady, monthly commitment says something about the people who give it. No sewing experience is required to join them, only a willingness to sit down and work alongside others toward something warm and useful. That simplicity is part of what makes this ministry so quietly powerful.

Each blanket carries the care of the hands that made it. Someone sleeping warmer tonight because of a Saturday morning spent at the Center is a direct, tangible expression of this community's values. Gratitude belongs here, freely and fully.

Thank you to Brenda Kobrin, who has guided this ministry, and to every volunteer who has given a Saturday morning to Project Sleep Warm. Twenty-five years of blankets is twenty-five years of care made visible.

An Invitation

If a Saturday morning with a purpose sounds appealing, Project Sleep Warm welcomes new volunteers. No sewing skill is needed, and material donations are welcome too.

Reach out to Brenda Kobrin at kobrin.brenda@gmail.com or (707) 280-9680 if you would like to join them or contribute materials.

Thank you to everyone who has given time, fabric, and care to this ministry. Santa Rosa is warmer because of you.

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Mary Ann Granieri

"I’ve always loved using my talents to contribute in some way to my community. It brings me a sense of satisfaction and well-being to help create, nurture, and sustain a healthy spiritual community that in turn supports and sustains so many others, individually as well as those in our local and global communities. Volunteering at the Center has allowed me to meet new people in a way that’s been easy and fun. A spirit of camaraderie easily develops as we collaborate on a common goal. I’ve developed dear friendships with some of the people I’ve met volunteering. It’s also created an opportunity to work with and get to know many of the talented and hard-working staff and ministers who are so dedicated to this Center. My appreciation for CSLSR and for everyone who contributes to it has grown immensely as I’ve glimpsed a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. As I’ve been able to contribute and create by volunteering, I’ve also received much. I feel truly seen, valued, and appreciated....

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Bette Smith

"I love volunteering at the Center because I get so much in return. I meet new and interesting people and connect with people I haven’t seen in years. I like working behind the scenes so I help Allan Yeager with some parts of the website which is a job I can do from home. I work in the bookstore where I’m surrounded by beautiful items for sale. And I love teaching classes because I have benefited so much from all the classes I’ve taken.  Coming to the Center for over twenty five years has changed my life. I love giving back my beloved Center that has fed me and helped me grow." -Bette Smith
