Bed of Bags (video) is a Kansas City-based Non-Profit organization who weaves donated grocery bags into sleeping mats to improve the lives of Kansas City's unhoused population.
Bring some friends, eat some pizza and join us in our CoLab on campus for a few hours as you learn how to make yarn out of plastic bags, AKA "plarn." This plarn is then be used to weave the mats used to help keep unhoused members of our community a little warmer on cold winter nights.
Join us for a free event to prepare you for your college experience.
