Volunteers have been making mats for the homeless in our nation for years. In 2019, Volunteer Delaware 50+ added the concept of using plastic bags to create mats after being introduced to the idea by a volunteer. It soon grew into a statewide program. Within this short time, Bags2Mats for the Homeless volunteers have prepared plarn, crocheted, and gifted more than 500 mats in the State of Delaware. The program operates statewide and needs volunteers to help collect plastic bags, turn the plastic material into plarn (plastic yarn, and crochet the plarn into mats.
