Logos for mending bloc, reclaim it, and Marie equi centerIf you'd just like to take clothing donations at the end, please come between 4:30-5:30 and you can look through mended items to take what works for you. No resale of items is permitted (they were donated with that rule)—please take things for your family or community to use. All skill levels welcome! Mending needed will range from small and simple to more elaborate. You are welcome to learn by watching but the focus here will be on the actual mending rather than teaching. The Marie Equi Center is at 4434 SE 25th Ave, at Holgate, seven blocks from a yellow line MAX stop and less than one block from a bus stop, line 17. Parking is limited. Service and support animals are welcome, but the venue would like to know ahead of time if we expect any so please let us know if you'll have a furry companion!
