MCRC's Infant Food Bank
Each month, MCRC’s Infant Food Bank serves over 200 families across Milton, Acton, and Georgetown, providing essential items like diapers, baby formula, baby food, and cereal to ensure that no infant in our community goes without the basic necessities required for a healthy beginning.
When you attend Eco-Chic, you're not just enjoying a night of fashion, entertainment, and connection, you’re making a direct impact.
This year, our goal is to raise $10,000 to ensure our shelves stay stocked and no baby in our community goes without. Your support will help us provide vital support to infants and families during their most critical stage of growth.
She Can Create!
Green Couture Collective
Participants of MCRC’s Free Youth Sewing Class are bringing their creativity and new skills to life as they design and produce original fashion pieces for the upcoming Eco Chic Fashion Show. This beginner-friendly program introduced youth to foundational sewing techniques while emphasizing sustainability and creativity.
Throughout the course, students explored the essentials of sewing, including how to operate sewing machines, select appropriate fabrics, accurately cut patterns, and use both machine and hand stitching techniques. They also gained confidence in reading sewing patterns, hemming garments, and mending with purpose all while integrating upcycled materials into their practice.
These young creators are applying what they’ve learned in a hands-on, real-world setting. From sketching their own designs to thoughtfully selecting repurposed fabrics, they are transforming concepts into wearable pieces. Their fashion show creations showcase not only technical skill but a commitment to eco-conscious design and personal expression.
