Distaff Emporium Crafters

We are an active group of women who create quality craft items for the bi-annual Good Shepherd Holiday Emporium.

This food, craft and raffle fundraiser is a autumn highlight every other year. Women gather on Monday mornings (9:30 a.m. to noon) at church to paint, sew, sand and socialize. All skill levels are welcome.

Workers for Grandma's Pantry make and sell all types of delicious food. Parishioners also donate homemade items, and Emporium workers gather, price, and display the items.

Workers for New-to-You collect and price new and very gently used donations to sell at 100% profit the day of the Emporium.

Raffle workers sell chances on special items. A handmade quilt made by Good Shepherd quilters is always one of these items.

Volunteers are also needed as cashiers, baggers, and general helpers on the day of the event. Proceeds from this event are disbursed in the spring to various local individuals, groups, and charities associated with Good Shepherd.
