Here’s what a few Hope Chest Society members have to say:
Being a part of Hope Chest Society was such a wonderful experience for me and my daughters. We enjoyed spending time with other families as we learned to sew, knit and crochet. What a blessing it is for me to see my 15 year old spending her spare time crocheting a hat or knitting a scarf (instead of watching TV) and my 6 year old pick up a needle, thread it, and begin to sew something! Our family has been blessed by the many wonderful handmade items that have been given as gifts because of the new skills the girls have learned! Hope Chest has made us all realize how special that home-made touch is in a home.

Being part of the Hope Chest Society was truly a blessing. We learned many useful skills which we might not have acquired otherwise. I was amazed to see that my 6 year old daughter was able to hand sew, crochet, and even knit. We made rag dolls, including its clothes. She is currently working on a quilt square. I would like to encourage all mothers and daughters to become members of the Hope Chest Society. It will be a time of bonding and fellowship with other families.

Hope Chest is one of the greatest benefits that I have gained through high school. It combines learning the skills that many women and girls have forgotten over these modern years with the enjoyment of fellowship. It's so relaxing to just sit down and sew while having great conversations with your friends. Getting a chance to have a good mother-daughter time, while sewing or cooking, is awesome!

And from a group just getting started:
The moms getting ready to be in our group are SO excited! And, I have a couple of older women who want to be involved because they agree with and love that we're passing all these things down to the children. They are like kids in a candy shop the way they anticipate helping with the group! I'm finding some really neat projects for us to do.
