She lays her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff.

She opens her hand to the poor, yes,
she reaches out her filled hands to the needy

—Proverbs 31:19-20 (Amp.)

Reach Out

Welcome to Reach Out!

Please note, Reach Out will NOT be meeting on June 17 or June 24.

Reach Out is a club for girls with a desire to impact their communities for Christ in a tangible way. Modeled after the many “Societies” that young women created in the early 20th century, club members meet on a regular basis to work on projects such as blankets (sewn, crocheted or knit), tote and duffel bags, dolls and other toys. Currently, we are sending the things we make to an orphanage in Nigeria that doesn’t get much other support.

We meet from 1-5pm every Tuesday in room 101 of the Family Life Center at Christ Community Church, 7801 E Kenyon Drive, in Tucson. Please see our Meetings page for more.

In addition to reaching out to the community, the club encourages young women in the domestic arts, namely crocheting, knitting and sewing. Reach Out also provides opportunities for older women to mentor these younger women.

News and photos

Our founder, Jordan Newhouse, was recently “Belled” by the Ben’s Bells Project. You can read about it in an article from the Arizona Daily Star: Teen’s sewing circle works to aid needy.

Take a look at some photos of our meetings and one of the recipients of our quilts.
