About the Product:

Each tote is a handmade, one of a kind piece made from recycled muslin. All the muslin scraps are collected from the Marist Fashion Program and then sewn together to make larger pieces. Each tote has been printed with original artwork from a Marist Student. All proceeds from these totes will benefit Dutchess Outreach - 'an advocate and provider for hunger and relief services in order to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, has access to fresh, healthy food, and the support they need.' Dutchess Outreach has altered their daily operations to be able to continue being a provider for those in need amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
