On Saturday, thousands of volunteers from 280 chapters worldwide will be sewing and assembling for 24 hours to see how many kits can be made. Even if you can’t sew, stop by the Edmonds party as there’s plenty to do, the group says.

To date, Days for Girls has distributed more than 100,000 kits to girls all over the world, including Edmonds. Even if you can’t sew, stop by as there’s plenty to do, the group says.
