Howden Hobbies
Join Us for Quilting and Knitting at Howden Community Center!
Ritchot Senior Services is excited to bring back our quilting and knitting program at the Howden Community Center this season! Enjoy the bright, open space while connecting with friends, both new and old, as we work towards meaningful goals together.
This year, we’ll be focusing on two important projects:
Lap Quilts for the Alzheimer Society
We will continue creating beautiful lap quilts to be donated to the Alzheimer Society for individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to help and a passion for crafting!
Knitting and Crocheting for Special Causes
We will also be knitting and crocheting items to be donated to important groups like Cancer Care and Palliative Care. Your contributions will make a real difference in the lives of those in need.
Thanks to the generous donations from our community, all supplies will be provided.
Where: Howden Community Center, 1078 Red River Drive
When: Wednesdays, 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM The Group is taking a break now and will be starting back up in October.
​
Enjoy coffee and tea while you’re here, and don’t forget to bring your lunch! Join fellow community members who share your passion and help us make a difference together.
