Crafts 4 Hope Foundation Planning Christmas In July Fundraiser

Image
I am planning the fundraiser now even though it is just the last day of March. Fundraisers take a lot of planning. I did not want to do a fundraiser at Christmas because I am of the opinion that it would take away from the true meaning and purpose of Christmas and that is the gift of Christ our Saviour and the giving of gifts to those less fortunate. Crafts 4 Hope Foundation gives what it can everyday of the year. It costs approximately $2.00 per person per crafting event for crafting supplies. The newsletter and postage is another huge expense for the foundation. It is for these reasons monetary donations are needed and a fundraising event is very important. CHRISTMAS IN JULY is our turn to shine. Here is what we are planning on doing in the preliminary stages: Picnic or Take - Out Crafting (Coloring or Card Making for all ages) Face Painting Mix & Mingle [ Show & Tell Your Own Craft ] Info Booth (Any literature you want to share with the public) Craft Table [ If ...

Layna is an 11 year old and technically a “retired”, service dog just like I am a retired registered nurse, but we both continue to do the Lord’s work by doing what we can to help the community. We received dog vests; dog coats and dog sweaters and we found some needy dogs to give them to. Layna also continues to go with me to the local nursing home and we roam up and down the hall going into people rooms and bring them happy tail wiggles and joy. God is so wonderful, and I am so blessed to have Layna. Layna got invited to an Easter Egg hunt April 19th 2025 Sunset Lake, Bridgeton NJ 2p – 3:30p Anyone that wants to join our service dog friends group you can message {detacted} on Facebook.

Crafts 4 Hope Foundation’s First Christmas Party Was A Huge Success

Image
Our fabulous Crafts 4 Hope tree turned out to be so lovely. We did not use this time to fundraise but strictly give back to the community. We are planning a Christmas In July Fundraiser for the third week in July. This should be fun! Everyone that came to the Christmas party and colored a Christmas tree, were placed in a drawing to win a gift certificate of $10.00. Three Amazon gift certificates were given away. All three went to online participants. Next year, we will have two categories: One for both online and offline participants. Our Tree of Hope had no ornaments at all to start; Everyone who came put an ornament on the Tree of Hope Christmas Tree and enjoyed a lovely time of fellowship. Brother Lawrence read the Christmas Story. We lit the Advent Candles throughout the night and because of my wonderful supporters both on and offline, we set up a donation room. Everyone took what they wanted so that they could give it to those in need in their own communities. Hats, scarves, glo...
