Celebrating Creativity and Community: Grandma's Hands Arts & Crafts


Hosted at The Silent Task Force, also known as The Peoples House
11410 Renton Ave S, Seattle, WA 98178
Every Wednesday beginning June 26, 2024
11:30 AM - 2:30 PM


Women United is thrilled to present "Grandma's Hands Arts & Crafts," a unique initiative designed to nurture the creative spirit of grandmothers and our senior population. In the often challenging journey of kinship caregiving or navigating the senior years, artistic talents and hobbies can sometimes be set aside. This program aims to revive those talents and provide a space where creativity and community can flourish.


Starting on June 26, 2024, and continuing every Wednesday from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM at The Silent Task Force (The Peoples House) in Seattle, "Grandma's Hands Arts & Crafts" will bring together seniors for collaborative craft projects. This is more than just an arts and crafts program; it's a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the shared stories of our elders.


By participating in these weekly sessions, seniors will have the opportunity to:

  • Rediscover and refine their artistic skills.
  • Engage in meaningful social interactions, fostering a sense of community.
  • Boost their self-assurance and well-being through creative expression.


We believe that every piece of art created during these sessions will be a testament to the strength, stories, and spirit of our senior participants. It's a chance for them to weave their narratives into beautiful crafts, creating lasting memories and connections.

We welcome all grandmothers and seniors to be part of this inspiring program. Let's come together to celebrate the beauty of creativity and the power of community.

Celebrating Community and Creativity at Hope’s Closet and the Grandma Zone

By alesiac • June 13, 2025
At the Angel of Hope Engagement Center, we believe in the power of community, creativity, and compassion. Our recent events at Hope’s Community Closet and Grandma’s Hands programming brought together seniors, youth, caregivers, and families for unforgettable moments of connection and joy. A heartwarming highlight from Hope’s Closet: a gentleman arrived in worn slippers and left proudly in a new pair of shoes — a simple yet powerful reminder of how dignity can be restored through care and kindness. In the Grandma Zone, we honored Caregiver Appreciation Day with gratitude-filled activities and joyful interactions. From chair yoga sessions led by our “Grandma’s Hands” team to therapeutic art-making where seniors created beautiful jewelry and custom photo placemats through sublimation, the energy was uplifting and inclusive. One of the most meaningful moments was when the first child received their “Every Child Matters” t-shirt, part of our awareness initiative through Grandma’s Hands Designs & Crafts. Youth participants also stayed active and engaged by hosting our Lovely Ladies Lemonade & Refreshment Stand, building both entrepreneurial spirit and community trust. ο»Ώ These events reflect the heart of what we do — bridging generations, supporting wellness, and spreading hope, one meaningful connection at a time.
