New Clothes for New Tomorrows

What’s New?

 

NEW  PROGRAMS!!!

 

NGA Staff and Board of Directors are currently working to establish two new programs in honor of our 125th Birthday in 2010!!!  

 

Youth Sewing Group

 

Twice a month, community youth will gather at NGA for several hours to create/sew items for those less fortunate.  Mentored by skilled seamstresses, the children will learn how to make clothing, quilts, pillow cases, blankets and much more!  All items that the children make will be packed and distributed to disadvantaged people in our communities.

 

Would you like more information or to help with this program?

Modern-Day In-Gatherings 

“Linking the Past to the Future”

 

Mimicking the In-Gatherings of 1885, Modern Day In-Gatherings will provide local elementary, middle and high schools, youth organizations,  church groups and community members with a historical, educational and community service experience.  Located at Headquarters, the program includes a tour of the headquarters building, a thirty-minute historical and educational presentation, complete with artifacts, a picnic lunch on our grounds, and ending with a “Modern-Day In-Gathering” in which the participants will make a new garment to be donated to those in need.

 

NGA Museum

 

What do your give someone celebrating their 125th Birthday?   A museum!

 

With such an amazing history dating back to 1885, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate our special birthday.  Originally, the board and staff were looking to transform the back building into a museum.  However, in light of the economy and the ever-increasing number of people in need of our assistance, NGA appropriately decided to establish a “mini-museum” in the volunteer room.
