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!
How You Can Make a Difference We are excited to announce a special partnership with The Ethical Mind, a values-driven marketplace that supports conscious consumerism. With every purchase made through the link below, a portion of proceeds will be donated directly to Crochet Class 501(c)(3), helping us continue our mission of providing essential, handcrafted mats to individuals in need.
Your Contribution Matters Every purchase you make helps fund materials, workshops, and community events that empower individuals to give back through creativity. Whether you shop, donate directly, or spread the word, your involvement strengthens a movement rooted in compassion and sustainability.
Let’s make a tangible impact—one stitch at a time.
