We've been wanting to pull together a charity bag making day for years. Finally, with the incredible support of the Bob Brown Foundation, we were able to pull it off!
Last Sunday the 23rd Feb 2025, a dozen community members gathered at Into Coffee to turn BBF (Bob Brown Foundation) ex-protesting banners into quality carry wear.
We started with a box full of protesting banners like this....
Then, after a caffeine hit from Into Coffee, we set up the production line...
It took about an hour to finish the first one, but once we had the systems down pat, we were rolling...
We ended up with about 14 complete bags on the day, with another half dozen halfway done. In total, around $1400.00 of bags to be sold with 100% of the sale going to protect natural places like the Tarkine in Tasmania, Australia.
Thank You to everyone who came to help out and to everyone who has purchased a bag so far! And a special thank you to Bob Brown Foundation for doing such amazing work.
Can't wait to do this all again :)
