Delaware is banning the use of plastic grocery bags, effective January 1, 2021. During the transition to the ban Plastic Free DE is working with communities and partner organizations to make and distribute reusable cloth bags, especially for those least able to afford the purchase of reusable bags. Please join us in sewing approximately 300 bags at this Summer Sew-A-Thon! And, gain skills to make more at home!

In the spirit of Repurpose-Reuse-Reduce, material for creating reusable bags is being collected from donations of fabric and gently used clothing.
Completed reusable Morsbags from this event will be donated to St. Patrick’s Food Bank, Wilmington.
