We need your help! It is the mission of the Western New York Fiber Arts Festival committee to give back to our community that has shown us such tremendous support. This year we have elected to support The Rural Outreach Center (ROC) located in East Aurora, NY. There are over 40,000 people living in poverty in the southern WNY zip codes serviced by ROC. Rural poverty is called the invisible poverty because it is hidden and dispersed across a wide geographic area, making it difficult to provide services. @RuralOutreachCenter has made it their mission to fill that service gap in order to break the cycle of rural poverty by accompanying people towards self-sufficiency.
We are requesting donations in the form of hats, mittens (gloves), and scarves to be brought to our show on October 1st.
Submission Requirements: Purchased items must be new and unworn. Handmade items must be new, unworn, and made using washable materials such as superwash yarns, or acrylic. All sizes are needed from child to adult and for both men and women. Each item submitted on festival day will register you for a chance to win a swag bag filled with goodies from our sponsoring vendors. It’s a simple act that goes a long way to bring care and comfort to our community. We hope that you will help support our cause.
