In 2023, we've added The Mats Project as one of our Volunteer Programs. We upcycle plastic bags that are unused into eco-friendly sustainable bed mats for the homeless living in the tunnels. We've streamlined our production process by having Teams that cut the bags into strips, then loop the strips into a long strand and crochet the strands into the mats that measure 30" wide and 72" long. We distribute our bed mats to the homeless living on the streets and tunnels of Las Vegas NV with Shine A Light Foundation. Meet other amazing people while making a difference! Many, many thanks to all of our volunteers! Check our Calendar below to see where we will be next!
