The charity's members make stylish fabric carrier bags using donated fabric, reducing single-use plastic shopping bags and preventing 'waste' fabric going to landfill.
One of 2,880 Morsbags 'pods' worldwide, the Halesworth pod has made 2,147 bags in its first year, ranking it 44th in the world for bag production.
Halesworth Morsbags' Admin Team, Sally, Caron and Ruth are thrilled with the number of bags made by the keen sewing team in the Halesworth area.
Morsbags' team member Ruth Jewson said "Halesworth Morsbags is reducing plastic bags in the environment while having fun getting together to make quality bags. It is truly sociable, guerilla bagging,"
The group currently supply Halesworth's Community Larder and Metfield Community Stores with bags, which are also available free to the public at HRG Services, Hetty's Little Copy Shop, The Music Emporium in The Thoroughfare as well as Halesworth Library.
The charity also has a stall at the monthly Produce and Craft Market at Wenhaston.
Local councillor Annette Dunning is a keen supporter of the group. She takes the bags to all of her Rural Coffee Caravan visits to local communities.
"Rural Coffee Caravan is happy to gift Morsbags to the communities we visit. We also accept donated fabrics for making new bags. Each new bag is recycled and repurposed eliminating one piece of future plastic pollution," she said.
There will be a festive get-together at the end of November where the group will provide a light buffet and mince-pies to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported them throughout the year. There will be a prize for the best festive bag.
"We'd love to see potential new members at one of our sociable get-togethers, where you can learn to make a bag, pick up fabric and meet new friends," said Ruth.

Fabric can be donated at Hetty's Little Copy Shop or at Halesworth library.
