Crafts 4 Hope Foundation Planning Christmas In July Fundraiser

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 attendees are crafters, they may sell their crafts at no cost to them. They need to bring their own table and chairs ]

Menu will be as follows:
Picnic or Take - Out
Hotdogs { Aternatives Available ]
Chessburgers [ Alternatives Available ]
BBQ Bake Beans
Potatoe Salad
Corn
Watermelon
Ginger Ale / Water

We are going to be selling Event Tickets $10.00 to make it affordable for everyone.

 God has richly blessed us in strange but wonderful ways since the publishing of the our Fall Newletter October first! Everything had a expiration date of at least a year and some things did not expire for two years! Cases upon cases of cranberry sauce, cranberry juice and grape juice were donated to Crafts 4 Hope Foundation and distrubuted to various nonprofits and individual families in preparation for Thanksgiving meals. A local drugstore got rid of inventory and Crafts 4 Hope Foundation was able to distribute 9 prenancy tests, 32 bottles of baby blue nail polish, 16 fleets enemas, 12 bottles of isoprpyl alcohol, 12 bottles of hydration lotion and one 12 pack of adult diapers.The most touching story was the giving away of the fleets enema because it was given privately to someone being treated for stage 4 cancer of the lungs and because of various medications they take, they were experiencing constipation.  So, you see beautiful souls? One just never knows what donation wil...

Giving A Hand Up! As public Relations Director of the NJ- WCTU  and Founder of Crafts 4 Hope Foundation, Inc, I was delighted to help the WCTU enjoy their 148th Annual Convention October 26, 2024 by creating the sticker and constructing these precious party favors. A Wonderful time was had by all those in attendance. I invited myself to go on a trip to Ohio with an individual I meet in my volunteer days with the Salvation Army. I asked and this person said "Sure, would you like to be a member of the WCTU?" I accepted, paid my membership dues, bought a tee-shirt and then, inquired as to what the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was all about? In Cleveland Ohio, in the 1800's, the city depended heavily on what was called "Sin Tax". Prostitution and Salons were big business in the city as alcohol was a major part of revenue for Cleveland, Ohio.
