Gift Bags for Our Troops

Each year, the LPL donates over 100 gift bags to our local Adopt a Platoon program. We are seeking volunteers to help us sew drawstring bags decorated by our teen volunteers, filled with goodies, and sent to troops serving overseas. Basic sewing skills, thread, and a sewing machine are required for this project. Each volunteer will receive a kit with materials to create three bags, including a pattern, instructions, and a link to an instructional YouTube video. If you would like to take more than one kit we just ask that you return your completed kit before you receive another. Please call the Adult Reference Desk (631) 924-6400 x250 to register and receive your kit. Kits will be available beginning July 6. Thank you for partnering with the LPL to support our troops! Gift bags must be returned to the Teen Department by September 4.
