Greetings.

I have expanded our holiday giving program this year so that there are
more choices for you and your family to help gift a local family in need!

Please share this program with your friends, family and neighborhood.
There are more families in need than ever this season.

Holiday Giving Program.

1- Warm Hug Blanket Drive- Each blanket is a $20 donation.
My goal is to have 200 blankets sponsored by 12/1
Not only will a local mom in need receive a wonderful gift. but...
since all blankets will be made by local moms who determined to work from home.
$10 will be given to the mom who makes the blanket,
$5.00 will be donated to the "Single Mom's Emergency Fund".
and $5.00 will be for supplies and fabric.
You will receive a tax donation receipt for each blanket that you gift.
Buy one or a dozen or more!
