What it reported doing in 2025

Participants in the program learned how to repurpose clothing to create unique custom garments all while gaining insights into the environmental impact of chemical fabric production and exploring sustainable alternatives. The program which took place from June to October 2025 had expenses totaling $9,003 within the 2025 fiscal year.
