In addition to our incredible raffle items, we will have a Silent Auction; Credit Cards and Checks will be accepted for Auction/Raffle ONLY. $35 per person, includes gratuity. Cash only for meal payment.  Delicious buffet will include choice of entrée, dessert, coffee, tea; Cash Bar Available. 213 Angler's Road. It's terribly sad to think of children being taken from their homes - oftentimes due to reasons they don't even understand. It's even sadder when you realize that they were asked to stuff their few belongings into a plastic garbage bag... the most readily available container. These children began to equate themselves with garbage... something disposable that no one wants.  The Sussex County VolDE50+ Advisory Council' s Lower Delaware Duffle Bag Project, makes duffle bags for the 240 children a year entering foster care in Sussex and Kent Counties. The bags are given to children by case workers of the Delaware Division of Family Services as the children are being removed from their homes. These attractive and sturdy duffle bags can bolster a child's self-esteem during a very bad situation and gives the children something of their own in which to put their belongings. Our bags are prepared and sewn by an army of both sewing and non-sewing volunteers in monthly Sew Ins held at community clubhouses, and CHEER Centers and Moose Lodges. We started sewing in September of 2018 and delivered 250 bags to Family Services within our first year! It's only through the generosity of donors and committed volunteers that this project has succeeded. To date ALL of our fabric has been donated but we need funds to purchase other supplies such as thread, Velcro, drawstring, straps and D rings and to service our donated sewing machines.  For more information about the Duffle Bag Project contact Hilda Chaski Adams (302 291 2922) or Linda Rogers (302 515 3020); www.chicksforcharity.us We are always in need of raffle items and volunteers, so if you would like to help out, please send us an email.
