WISCASSET — The Morris Farm Trust seeks volunteers to help sew aprons for children in the Farm-to-School Project at schools in Bristol, Damariscotta, Jefferson and Wiscasset. A “Sew Helpful: Apron Sewing Day” will run from 9 a.m. to noon May 2 at the farm, 156 Gardiner Road.
“We have the material and patterns, we need you and your machine to join us in the Learning Center at Morris Farm on Wednesday, May 2,” a Morris Farm Trust release states.
Coffee, tea and baked treats will be provided.
“The Farm-to-School Project teaches children and their teachers where their food comes from, the importance of eating healthy and locally produced foods throughout all four seasons and the benefits of eating locally produced food for the community, the environment and the local economy,” the release states. “This will be a fun morning of sewing simple patterns that will have a positive and direct impact on the children of the Mid-coast area.”
