RECORD SEW-IN PRODUCTION
Care Caps has no quotas and teams do not have the same numbers of volunteers or work the same number of hours. However, special recognition goes this quarter to our project partners at the Southeast Arkansas Department of Community Correction. The 25-member team bested a previous record, completing 268 garments in a two-day session.
