Pockets of Hope was founded in the beginning of 2022 by Delaware County native, Katelynn Devinney, after her Mom’s second breast cancer diagnosis. The non-profit is now run by three dedicated women who are passionate about supporting women during breast cancer recovery.

The Pockets of Hope team customizes hooded sweatshirts for women who are recovering from their mastectomies. Pockets are sewn inside the hoodies to hold the drainage tubes and bulbs that women need while they are recovering. These hoodies allow them to heal more comfortably and even leave their house if they want to while still having the drainage tubes in place.

In the less than two years since Pockets of Hope was founded, they have shipped over 5900 hoodies (to all 50 states and even internationally) so far. To keep up with the demand, Pockets of Hope hosts “Sewing Parties” once a month or every six weeks. Women of all ages come together and cut fabric, iron, sew pockets and hoodies, and package hoodies for shipping.

Can’t sew? No problem! We need volunteers to measure and cut fabric, iron pockets, and help package hoodies. All are welcome to this community workshop. Bring your sewing machine, scissors, or iron, and join us!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, join us for our next Sewing Party. Stop in for any amount of time that works for you - there is no specific time commitment required. Any and all help is very appreciated!

10 am - 12 pm
