Description

Summer is here and a bright-colored tote will be just the item you need for picnics, children's baseball games, and even that long-awaited trip to the beach! This tote is carefully crafted by a refugee in ACC's "We Made This" program. Features include inside and outside pockets, and the reassurance of knowing who made it. 


"We Made This" is an employment skills training program for refugees. 12-week long sewing courses provide refugees with: increased social interaction and feelings of belonging, English-language training, skill set development, workforce training with a pathway to employment, and supplementary income. Over half of the proceeds for each item created is given directly to the refugee.
