Donate to help us continue our good work!
Donate to support ongoing training and community projects at the Dayton Sewing Collaborative. Our workforce development training program, Dayton Train to Sew, has provided free training to over 370 individuals, preparing them for industrial sewing jobs with local manufacturers. In addition, the DSC participates in multiple community projects in support of the community as quilts/blankets, fleece hats, fidget pads for dementia patients, focus and calming tools for local school children, etc. These donations will be used to continue ongoing projects at the DSC.
