Spring Newsletter A Message From The Founder & Creative Crafter

In this issue, we have a lot to celebrate. I hold a very special place in my heart for someone very dear to me whose birthday is on St. Patty’s Day! So, I would like to wish this individual a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and let this person know that we are not lucky but blessed to have each other just as we are blessed that God gave His Son, Jesus, to us to die so that we may live. Spring is a time for new beginnings. “… Old things are passed away; behold all things are become new”. (2 Corinthians 5:17) This is at the heart of why we celebrate Easter and it was at the heart of the message that Saint Patrick brought with him when he preached Christianity to the people of Ireland and taught about the Holy Trinity: God the Father; God the Son and God the Holy Spirit represented by the 3 leaf clover that we see when celebrating Saint Patricks Day. I always thought this was a fun fact. So the next time you see a 3 leaf clover always think of God’s precious gift to us when He gave His Son to us and died on the cross so that we may have a new beginning with Him. We are forgiven of all our past sins and short-comings. We are given a chance to start fresh. We have a new beginning with Christ in our lives and by our side to help us every day in every way. To all my friends and family who have a birthday in March, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Happy Easter. We are truly blessed and have much to be thankful for. Be blessed beautiful souls! - Annie

 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...

Helping The NJ Women's Christian Temperance Union

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. Woman were oppressed in those days with great difficulties in their homes due to their husband's drunkenness and...
