Come help the Generator community fabricate shower bags for the UVM Medical Center Oncology Unit!
Join us for a two-day community sewing event to support breast cancer patients recovering from surgery. Shower bags allow patients to shower hands-free while managing post-surgical drains—a small comfort that makes a meaningful difference.
Dates: Saturday, December 13 & Sunday, December 14
Time: 10:00am–2:00pm
Cost: FREE
Basic sewing experience is helpful but not required—there are tasks for everyone. We have limited sewing machines, so please bring one if you can.
Donations needed: 100% cotton fabric, ribbon, thread, and sewing machine needles.
This project was inspired by Lyn Coupal, a two-time breast cancer survivor. “After my second surgery, the hospital gave me a shower bag so I could bathe safely and independently,” Lyn shared. “These small items make a big difference—but they’re not always available.”
Drop in anytime! We need volunteers to help sew, cut fabric, iron, assemble, and package bags.
