Stitch Supply Co
Leslie Lyons told us that Stitch Supply Co. is a fabric and quilt shop that has been open just over two years. They are establishing quite a nice crafting community locally in their town and surrounding area. They have started charity sewing days and hope to schedule at least one charity event per quarter.
Recently Stitch Supply held a charity sewing day where they made reading pillows (a square pillow with a pocket in the front where a child can store a book) which were donated to The Chippewa Valley Child Advocacy Center and the children they serve.
The Chippewa Valley Child Advocacy Center is a non-profit, safe place for children who have been abused or neglected. Our role as an agency in these investigations is to conduct forensic interviews of the children. Forensic interviews are a legally sound, least traumatic way to talk to children to elicit the most truthful information about an event. Following the interviews, the children are able to pick out a stuffed animal and a book to take home. This process is very important as we strive to give children a sense of safety and security.
Last year alone, the child Advocacy Center interviewed 330 children and every single child was able to take home a stuffed animal and book.
