The AT&T Pioneers held a Sleeping Mats for the Homeless workshop this afternoon. There are various ways to volunteer for this project, collecting plastic grocery bags, folding and cutting the bags into strips, linking these strips together and creating a ball of plastic yarn plarn, and crocheting the plarn to create a mat that will be donated to someone within our homeless community to protect them from the harshness of the ground. The Project Mission is to recycle plastic grocery bags and make them useful by crocheting them into sleeping mats that will be donated to local shelters, churches, or other like organizations for distribution to the homeless community. Thank you to all who joined us today!!! Additional workshop dates to be announced soon! Did you know that the AT&T Pioneers will lead a Sleeping Mats for the Homeless Community Outreach workshop at the upcoming 2014 ERG Conference in Dallas next month? We are taking this project on the road to share throughout our many chapters and communities.
