Toy Drive for Foster Children

November 14 - December 4

An easy way to make a foster child happy!

The Women of Fearrington Toy Drive for Chatham County Foster Children will take place Nov 14 - Dec 4. Every year we work with Chatham County social workers to collect toys that go to foster children and the most needy families in our county.

Two ways to donate:

1) Click here for the Amazon Wish list. It will work like a gift registry. Select your gifts, and when you check out be sure to check the Wish List address for Chatham DSS.

2) If you aren't an Amazon shopper, you can leave a gift of your choice (NEW and UNWRAPPED only) at the home of Lucia Holliday, 594F Woodbury. There will be a bin labelled Toy Drive on her front porch. Remember that many foster children are teens. Last year they were thrilled with makeup kits, sports equipment and jerseys, and the like.

We are happy to share this VERY SPECIAL OFFER from a WoF member & FV neighbor!

January General Meeting

Pat Essex

Quilt maker & quilt and

fabric historian

Wednesday, January 21, 2026

1:30 p.m. (doors open at 1:00)

Quilting: Traditional Meets Modern

Please join us on January 21st, when quilt maker and quilt and fabric historian Pat Essex shares how a family connection, her aunt, sparked a new and expanded enthusiasm for quilting, which she has pursued with vigor since retiring from a professorship in Accounting and Management Information Systems at Bowling Green State University in northwest Ohio. Pat has been an active quilter since the 1980s, but viewing old and tattered family quilts sparked interest in a new domain of learning. Pat and her VILLAGE QUILTER colleagues are exploring new trends and enjoying two different, yet sometimes similar, quilt styles.

This event is free to all WoF members

Guests are invited and asked to pay $5.00 at the door (all

proceeds benefit our Wonderful Options grants program).
