According to the U.S. Department of Energy, households can save 5-30% of their energy costs by reducing drafts in a home. Hands On Asheville-Buncombe invites you to help keep someone's home warm this winter by making "draft stoppers" (stuffed and decorated fabric tubes that are placed at the bottom of a door). Draft-stoppers will be distributed to individuals and families served by Meals On Wheels, Community Action Opportunities, and Council on Aging.There are tasks available for volunteers who are crafty as well as those who aren't! Direction and materials will be provided. Contact the Project Coordinator if you are willing to bring your sewing machine to this project or help sew fabric tubes from home. This project is great for individuals, families, and small groups. Youth are welcome to participate with adult assistance and supervision. Ages 16+ welcome. For more information, please contact Clare Cook, or call 828-255-0696. Hands On Asheville-Buncombe, a program of United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, provides a link for individuals, families, corporate, and civic or faith-based groups to volunteer in support of nonprofits in Asheville and Buncombe County.
