Meet the Crafting Change Leadership Team! Sew, Knitm, Crochet for those in need with our innovative system of matching you to nonprofits who need your skills! Learn more about our Leadership Team Tiffany Herbert mailto:tiffany@craftingchange.org I founded Crafting Change in 2021 with a clear goal: to connect makers directly with organizations that need handcrafted items. I saw a gap—between people who wanted to help and causes that needed support—and I knew we could fill it. One handmade item at a time. That's what drives me: knowing that what we do matters, both for the people receiving these items and for the volunteers who make them. I’m endlessly inspired by the generosity of our volunteers and the impact we’ve been able to make together. The name Crafting Change holds a double meaning. Yes, we’re crafting items that create real change in people’s lives—but we’re also being changed in the process. That’s the heart of this work. As Executive Director, I wear all the hats—from strategic planning and nonprofit partnerships to communications, volunteer engagement, fundraising, and logistics. I make sure our programs run smoothly, our mission stays front and center, and our community of volunteers and partners feels supported every step of the way. It’s a lot—but it’s the most meaningful work I’ve ever done. Outside of Crafting Change, I'm an empty nester with three awesome adult kids and one great son-in-law. I’ve been married to my amazing husband for 34 years, and we share our home with our pups, Daisy and Mr. Peabody. When I’m not juggling logistics or cheering on our volunteers, you’ll find me at SoFi Stadium cheering on the LA Chargers, starting a new project I promised I wouldn’t start yet, or pinning a pattern I will never have time to try! Mary Dredge mailto:mary@craftingchange.org I have always been creative and crafty. I was a photo album and card maker for 5 years, studied herbalism for 3 years, and getting sustainable when the pandemic hit. Friends and family were needing masks. My sewing skills were ok, so I dusted off my sewing machine, researched the easiest mask design and I was sewing masks! It was a lonely beginning working full-time virtually during the day and then sewing masks for hours into the night. I loved helping people and found a new purpose – helping others. I wanted to do more to help those in my community. I started sewing pencil pouches for low-income high school students and filling them with basic school supplies. I was making fleece hats for outreach programs and many other small activities. It was great, but still lonely. Then I found Crafting Change by chance, a moment of watching the news on the television, I never watch. There was Tiffany talking about her nonprofit. My husband said – you should check in to that and I did. Best decision ever. After mask making was complete, I found a partner charity that I am passionate about through Crafting Change that I never would have found. By day, I am a Project Manager for a local financial company. I run my own handmade product business supporting sustainability and kindness. I love making herbal remedies and tea and can’t wait for the garden to fill in with herbs. I am always looking for ways to reform the status quo and offer support. Life is so much better doing the things we love with friends! That is Crafting Change. "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples" – Mother Teresa. Martha Richmond mailto:martha@craftingchange.org My sister Laura and I learned from an early age that it is better to give than receive. I can’t remember a time when our family wasn’t helping someone. Be it spending time with families evacuated from hurricanes, or volunteering with service groups. Back in 1977 my mom had a devastating cerebral aneurism that resulted in her paralysis on one side. To help her feel useful and part of the community, I started making security blankets. While I stitched, I found myself thinking about who might receive our gift of love. We would take them to the NICU or Ronald McDonald House in San Antonio so she could interact with the children and parents. I would attach a stamped envelope to the blankets where mothers and children would write to her. She developed special bonds with these families and even sent a dedicated pen pal to college and nursing school. And now I send blankets to her children. That experience with mom is what started my love of sewing for others. When Covid mask making had dwindled in earIy 2021, someone recommended the National Day of Service Sew-Along. That day I found a wonderful community of like minded sewists. I was elated when shortly thereafter, Tiffany started Crafting Change. And overnight we needed partners to serve. At the time, I was working with Weld County Foster Care in Greeley, and Pipers Project in Kansas, and soon they were added as two of our first partners. What I love about Crafting Change is not only do we make items for people that need them, but we also are a dedicated group of crafters that need to be creating for others. I am honored to be part of the Board and will help to continue the amazing success of Crafting Change. I love that we have so many partners and projects so everyone can find something they enjoy. Join in on one of our weekly zooms and you will be hooked on the useful tips, and camaraderie. Let’s get Crafting Change! Mackenzie Bathauer mailto:mackenzie@craftingchange.org For the past eight years, I’ve worked at Planned Parenthood, focusing on healthcare equity and LGBTQ+ rights—issues I’m deeply passionate about and that Crafting Change actively supports. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with marginalized and vulnerable communities, helping to amplify their voices and advocate for their needs. I bring a background in nonprofit work, community engagement, and fundraising, and I’m excited to contribute those skills to furthering Crafting Change’s impact. Beyond my professional life, I’m a strong believer in the power of creativity as a tool for connection and healing. Whether it’s crafting, storytelling, or building community, I’m drawn to spaces where people can show up as their full selves and find belonging. I’ve always loved the intention and care behind handmade things, and embroidery has become one of my favorite ways to slow down and create with purpose. It’s a small but meaningful practice that reminds me how every stitch—like every act of service—can make a difference. Being part of this organization feels like a natural extension of the work I love—building a more inclusive, equitable, and compassionate world, one handmade piece at a time.

Retired scientist. Photographer. Alto. Lifelong crafter. After more than a year of daily mask-making for local and national needs, it's time to bring other crafts into the fold. In the early months of Crafting Change, I joined the team as a fiber arts advisor, using my experience as a test knitter to guide craftivists towards using the best choices of yarn and patterns to make items that best served our newfound partner charities. Once we had an enthusiastic team making cold-weather items, I turned my fiber-arts attention to first aid and hygiene needs at home and abroad. My heart is with girls struggling to stay in school in Ghana, and to that end, I spend much of my energy producing menstrual hygiene kits for the Keep Girls In School Campaign.

WHERE CREATIVITY & COMPASSION MEET I magine the impact of a simple act of crafting: sewing a reusable menstrual pad that helps a middle school girl in rural Western Africa stay in school, or crocheting a winter hat that warms the head of an unhoused man on LA’s Skid Row, or one fighting for freedom in Ukraine. At Crafting Change, we're more than just crafters – we're craftivists. We match the love of crafting with tangible good works for those in need. C rafting Change was born out of the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when crafters rose to meet the challenge of sewing masks desperately needed by healthcare workers and other frontline heroes. Recognizing the power and passion of crafters, Crafting Change has built a model to harness this power and tangibly impact the lives of those in need. S ince our founding, we've delivered over 200,000 items made by craftivists in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada to organizations in every state, and internationally to Canada, Nepal, Ghana, and Ukraine. From handmade masks to blankets, each item lovingly crafted by our volunteers ends up in the hands—or on the heads—of someone who needs it, changing lives one stitch at a time. B ut our work doesn't stop there. We're constantly innovating and expanding our reach, finding new ways to make a difference in the world. Whether it's through a virtual knitting and crochet circle, a local crafting event, or a global initiative, we invite you to join us in our mission to craft change and create a brighter future for all.

To ensure a shared understanding of expectations, we have developed the following policies and etiquette guidelines for our Zoom Rooms. Crafting Change Zoom Room Policies All volunteers of Crafting Change must adhere to the organization's Non-Discrimination Policy outlined below. The officers, directors, committee members, employees, and persons served by this corporation shall be selected entirely on a nondiscriminatory basis with respect to age, sex, race, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation or gender identity. It is the policy of Crafting Change not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, ancestry, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical disability, veteran’s status, political service or affiliation, color, religion or national origin. To foster a positive and productive environment, the following additional policies apply to all Zoom Room participants: Crafting Commitment: Volunteers are required to use the Zoom Rooms as a time to craft for our charity partners. Our volunteer hosts dedicate their time and utilize organizational resources to facilitate these crafting sessions. By participating in Zoom Rooms, volunteers commit to supporting our organization's mission through their crafting efforts. This policy ensures that our collective efforts are focused on fulfilling our charitable goals and helping our partners. Respectful Communication: Discussions must remain respectful and avoid topics that may create conflict, such as politics, religion, or other controversial subjects. The Zoom Host will mute participants violating this policy and give a verbal warning. The Host reserves the right to remove anyone from the Zoom Room at any time if they are in violation of this policy. Zoom Room Management: Zoom Rooms may be canceled or ended at any time for any reason by the Host or Crafting Change. Disclaimer: Comments made in Zoom Rooms do not necessarily reflect the views of the nonprofit corporation Crafting Change. By following these policies we can ensure that our Zoom Rooms remain safe, inclusive, and focused on our mission. Zoom Room Etiquette: Turn off background sounds such as TV’s and radios. Keep yourself muted until you want to speak. Share the room; Ensure everyone is heard. Socializing is encouraged, crafting is required.

We care about your safety and insist that you wait until you are safely out of your vehicle or parked with the engine off before you join us to craft. By following these guidelines, we can create a harmonious and productive crafting space that makes everyone feel welcome. smoke-free crafting policy Safe Crafting & Healthy Giving~Smoke-Free Crafting Environment Policy We care about the health of everyone involved in Crafting Change! This policy ensures all donated items, regardless of the charity partner, are crafted in a completely smoke-free environment, free from: Cigarette smoke Cigar smoke Pipe smoke E-cigarettes All forms of vaping Marijuana smoke (including all smokable forms) This includes homes where smokers reside, even if they smoke "outside only." **For ease of this policy, we will use the term smoke/smokers to refer to any form of inhaling and either smoke or vapor. Why Smoke-Free? We prioritize the well-being of our most vulnerable recipients, including cancer patients, NICU babies, and children, but ultimately every person deserves the same healthy items. Secondhand smoke, vapor, and even lingering residue (third-hand smoke) can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and even cancer. There is no effective way to remove this residue from crafted items. What is Third-Hand Smoke (and Vape Residue)? Even if smoking or vaping happens outside, residue can settle on clothes, hair, furniture, and linger for weeks. This invisible residue, called third-hand smoke (for cigarettes and tobacco products) or third-hand vape residue (for e-cigarettes), contains harmful chemicals that can't be easily removed through laundry or airing out a space. It can re-emit into the air or be absorbed through the skin. Studies show laundering such items may not remove contamination and could even worsen it. Maintaining a Smoke-Free Crafting Environment To participate in our volunteer crafting program, we require all volunteers to create their handmade items in a smoke-free environment. This includes: Smoke-Free Residence: Not living with smokers in the same residence. This includes full and part-time residents of your space. Understanding and Alternatives We understand this requirement may not be feasible for all volunteers. We encourage open communication and are happy to discuss alternative ways to contribute, such as: Fundraising Events: Join us on our fundraising committee and help us raise vital funds to keep our programs going. Social Media & Community Outreach: Help spread the word about Crafting Change on social media platforms and in your local community. Email Campaigns : Contribute your writing skills by helping us craft compelling email messages to our supporters. By maintaining a smoke-free crafting environment, we ensure the safety and comfort of everyone who interacts with our handmade items.

Item Requested Craft Type Quantity Requested Quantity Still Needed Quilt Twin Size Sew Only 12 10 project must-knows We are crafting for "Young Adults" this is ages 18-24. For 2 of their programs, The Independent Supported Living Program (up to a 6 Month stay) and the Mobile Housing Navigation Center (up to a 120 Day stay), the young adults have the opportunity to stay for longer periods of time and settle down while they look for permanent housing, educational opportunity and jobs. We will be helping the young adults in these 2 programs with blankets and pillowcases to make them feel more at home during this transition. CRITICAL INFORMATION: We have been asked to not use "Pride" themed fabric or fabric that in anyway would identify the owner of the items as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. It is important to remember that these young adults are in a very vulnerable situation often having been displaced from their home due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Twin Size Quilts They are looking for approximately 12 Twin Size Quilts per year. If you have any interest in constructing some truly lovely, warm, twin size quilts that residents of their Independent Supported Living Program could come home to, they would love that. Size: 70"x90" Fabric Restrictions: Avoid using fabrics that depict weapons, drugs, alcohol, or themes related to pride, rainbows, or any symbols that could "out" someone as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. Fabric: Cotton & Batting Technique: Sewn Only Winter Collection Begins Again September 1, 2025 Winter Items For unsheltered LGBTQIA+ young adults in Nashville, please follow these guidelines: Accepted Items: We are looking for hats and gloves/mittens/fingerless gloves. Technique: Sewn, knitted, or crocheted. Color Preferences: Use subdued colors such as browns, blacks, navy blue, forest greens, etc. These colors help the young adults blend into their surroundings and feel safe. Fabric and Yarn Restrictions: Use washable wool or high-quality acrylic. Use colors that will help folks blend in.
