Únete a nosotros para El Círculo de Reparación: Creando con Propósito

En Advocates for Recovery Colorado creemos que la conexión es una parte vital del camino hacia la recuperación. Para fomentar esa conexión, estamos lanzando El Círculo de Reparación, una reunión recurrente para personas que disfrutan de las manualidades, sin importar su nivel de experiencia.

Esto no es solo un grupo de pasatiempos, es una misión. Nuestro objetivo es pasar el año creando gorros, bufandas y cobijas hechas a mano. En el próximo invierno, organizaremos un evento de alcance comunitario para distribuir estos artículos a personas en situación de calle, brindando el calor tan necesario durante el invierno en Colorado.

¿No tienes materiales? No hay problema. Tendremos algunos suministros para que puedas comenzar.

Ven a desahogarte y quédate a reparar. ¡Tejamos nuestra comunidad más unida!
