Soft Goods for Senegal report
Get your Woo-hoo ready…the scales weighed in for the Soft Goods for Senegal drive, with all those bags adding up to 4,126 lbs! That’s more than 2 tons of soft goods!!
Northwest Center added 2cents/pound because their driver didn’t show up Sunday, so the total amount raised is $825.20.
Each of those bags represents someone’s effort , someone who heard about UWFaith’s Rummage Sale and Soft Goods for Senegal…someone who cared enough to take action supporting the work of UWFaith serving women, children, and youth…in this case, sharing a bag of Soft Goods, reaching students in Senegal.
It’s a win-win all around: Students on the other side of the globe will receive your love and support, and the person who brought each bag of Soft Goods now has a cleaner closet. Thanks be to God for all the ways a little effort might change the world.
Driven by God’s love and united in sisterhood, we work to improve the lives of women, children and youth. Every day, we show up. We take action. We get it done. And we invite you to join us.
We are inspired by our international and national group’s mission, vision, and action.
Locally, we support these women/youth/children ministries:

DOLL MINISTRY 2026
It was wonderful to see so much interest in the Doll Ministry at the recent ministry fairs and spring tea!
Many volunteers are already hard at work creating doll and cradle sets to be distributed for Christmas to Atlantic Street Center, Mary’s Place, New Ground Bothell, Lake Washington Safe Parking Program, and the Resource Center at Riverton Park.
Everyone is welcome to participate—whether by dressing a doll, contributing supplies, or helping in other ways, there are many opportunities to get involved:
• Sew, knit, or crochet doll outfits • Make doll blankets (quilted, knitted, crocheted, fleece, etc.) • Build wooden cradles • Shop for doll accessories (bottles, rattles, etc.) • Donate wrapping supplies • Help package the dolls • Pray for the children who will receive them and for this ministry.
Dolls are available in the church library, as well as patterns for sewing, knitting, and crocheting.
We are grateful for the generosity and support this ministry has received over the years. Together, we look forward to another season of sharing comfort, love, and joy with children in our community!
Invite friends, family members, or neighbors who might enjoy participating! For more information about the dolls and this ministry, contact Mary Jane Lohr, Leslie Hayton, or Kathy Lawson. For more information about helping with cradles, contact Gary Stueckle.
