The Perry County Impact Program was created in 2023 to help unite our community, to learn from one another, to share diverse perspectives, and to do our part in keeping nature wild. Perry County Impact Program is sponsored by United Way of Perry County and created and operated under Paddle Perry, Inc. The purpose of the program is to provide our community partners with the equipment and knowledge to leave places better, practice better disposal methods, and educate about the importance of recycling.
Since 2023, Paddle Perry hosted multiple plarn prep and craft days to create these plastic mats. When completed, they are donated to Catholic Charities and given to those in need. They're great for layering sleeping pads on top, keeping you off of the ground and dry. if you’re interested in getting involved with this project reach out to us. We have materials and information to share.
In our effort to assist people in need in our community and provide a simple way to recycle plastic bags, Paddle Perry is offering PLARN days again this winter. Community craft days will be held at Tell City Regional Arts.
Create plastic yarn from plastic bags to crochet, knit or weave (or learn to) and create plastic mats!
These mats are great for layering sleeping pads on top -- keeping you off of the ground and dry. All mats will be donated to a local charity that helps homeless folks in the area. Twelve mats were donated last year -- let's match that this year!
This project can take extra time outside of craft days to complete, and of course participants are welcome to create anytime throughout the year.
