Founder, Executive Director
Lucy Kulbago
Lucy taught herself to sew and quilt, sparking a lifelong passion for creating meaningful, handmade items. Over the years, she has made numerous quilts to celebrate special moments for family and friends. After more than 20 years of teaching math and science, Lucy chose to channel her energy into charity work and founded Sew4Service. Her vision was to build a community of service-minded individuals while connecting with local charities in need of handmade items. Drawing on her teaching background, Lucy brings patience, organization, and encouragement to the Sewing Studio, where she offers a variety of sewing, quilting, and crocheting classes. She is also an active member of the Cotton Candy Quilt Guild and is deeply grateful for the positive and supportive community it provides.

OUR MISSION
Sew4Service brings together creative, service-minded individuals who transform donated fabric, yarn, supplies, and equipment into handmade items that provide comfort, care, and hope to people and pets in need. Through skill-building, volunteerism, and sustainable crafting practices, we empower individuals to become confident creators while reducing textile waste and strengthening communities. Every donation helps us teach new skills, divert materials from landfills, and turn generosity into tangible acts of kindness.
