Community Support

 

Westing Bridge is proud to support the fiber arts industry!

In addition to the schools, not-for-profit groups and events listed below we have donated our ChiaoGoo knitting needles and crochet hooks to brownie troops, prayer shawl ministries, after school programs, an all-girl hockey team and various other events where individuals can begin to learn the arts and hopefully get hooked!
