Craftopia: Volunteer Packing Party @ Craftopia
Tickets
Jun 28 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits.  These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library systems.  The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new projects and explore their creative side.
Packing parties include prepping of supplies and stuffing ziplock bags with materials.  We stuff between 100-300 bags each time, so lots of repetitive motion.  Beverages and snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.
RSVP’s appreciated but not required.
