Last year the SOC Project provided 22 tote bags to the Esther Project.  They were able to give our tote bags to mothers and their children.  Below is an email we received from one of the organizations who received our totes for babies and their mothers:

​

​Hello,

My name is Maria Wehrle. I run a ministry called Mothers In Need of Others (MINOpronounced "minnow") for families in crisis in Rochester, NY. We provide them with short term emergency supplies (baby care items, feminine and personal hygiene products, and cleaning supplies) all free of charge through care managers from the agencies and churches we work with. We were recently blessed with some of your diaper bags through Cheryl Snead from The Esther Project. Your diaper bags were such a hit with the moms Thank you!

Sincerely, Maria Wehrle

Founder/Program Director Mothers In Need of Others A ministry of Project URGE,

Over the past few years, I have been searching for just the right space to create a crafters haven.  This past year my brother and I purchased our family home.  The house, which is located in N. Chili, NY, is an 1840 farmhouse which has been in our family for 4 generations.  Needless to say the house is in need of some TLC. Currently we are in the process of renovating the downstairs.  

​

Coming this January,  Open Crafting hours are Monday's 10 am - 2 pm; the 2nd and 4th Sunday's 11 am - 2 pm.  Drop in for a relaxing crafting experience.

​

Winter of 2025  we will be hosting Sleep in Your Own Bed Retreats as well as workshops and  events for all types of crafts.
