Craft Club of Sebastian, Inc., a 501(c)(3), non-profit group encourages and promotes the making of hand-crafted items and its continuation of arts and crafts as a hobby. Formed in 1985 the club serves Brevard, Indian River, Martin and St Lucie counties via monthly meetings, social events and monthly shows at Riverview Park in Sebastian, Florida from October through May. The Club supports local charities through yearly donations. In our 2012/2013 season, we donated $500 to each local charity listed below (a total of $2,500) 1) Back-Pack Buddies Treasure Coast Elementary School: back packs filled with food are sent home on Fridays for children in need to ensure they have meals over the week-ends. 2) H.A.L.O. Animal Rescue in Sebastian: Emergency medical funding for this no-kill animal shelter. 3) Indian River North County Library: Emergency meals on wheels to seniors returning home from hospital or rehab facilities to assist them as they transition to independent living. 5) Visiting Nurses Association: Hospice care for patients in Indian River County. We hope to increase our donations in the 2013/2014 season.
