Learning From Scratch

Due to our landlord (Comprenew) selling their building, we have moved all of our materials into storage units and do not currently have a storefront or a central storage location.

Please contact us at 616-890-1085 if you have or know of any space we can use.

We want to continue making our materials available to the community. Our current situation does not provide adequate accessibility and is not economically sustainable.

We also need help with online marketing and organizing our offerings.

For the long term we hope the mission of Learning From Scratch can continue well into the future with the support of forward thinking organizations.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month***

Hello — I am Betsey Hamm, founder of nonprofit Learning From Scratch. I found out I had breast cancer in 1992 and was very scared even though it was detected early. I had a double mastectomy and radiation and excellent medical care and have survived for 30 years. You too can overcome by examining yourself monthly and getting periodic mammograms. I will be praying for you!

These stamp sets of Symbols of the Warrior can be purchased for the heavily discounted price of $12.00 plus shipping for each set. Due to prolonged storage, the ink pads may be dried up, but new ink pads can easily be purchased at craft stores. You can order by calling 616-890-1085. The proceeds will be donated to our local Gilda’s Club in Lowell, Michigan.

We lost a large black backpack on Mackinaw Island on Friday, August 5. It contained two towels, clothing, a woman’s swimsuit, and some rope. Last seen on Garrison Road. Please call 616-890-1085 if you found it.
