Refugee Sewing Society

Healing the Hearts & Souls of Refugee Women

It's summer -- so turn up the heat!

Light your grills, men!  Our new Samson apron is made especially for the guys we love.  It's big, it's strong, and it has handy denim pockets from a favorite pair of jeans.  Look for it in our shop!
About the RSS

The Refugee Sewing Society was founded in Clarkston, Georgia, in 2008 as a place of safety and comfort for refugee women.  In our classes, approximately 40 women learn to sew, knit, crochet, and make jewelry.  The all-volunteer staff sells these handcrafted goods at churches, universities, through our Missions in a Box program and in our special-order plan.  Money the women earn helps their families pay for food, medical care and other basic needs.  As a Christian ministry, we surround our precious women with the love of our Father, and we comfort and encourage them as they see the love of Jesus in everything we do.
