This week marks the exciting beginning of Creative Change. The mission of Creative Change is two-fold: to generate funds for domestic and international non-profits and to raise awareness about the non-profits we support. On Saturday, a group of young ladies will meet in Bellingham to create beautiful, handmade cards. These cards will then be sold in packs and the proceeds will benefit the first non-profit that Creative Change has chosen to support, Heifer International. Our goal is to purchase a heifer for a family. (Please visit Heifer's website at http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.2663295/ for more information). The reason Creative Change has chosen to support Heifer is because by providing livestock, Heifer helps people to break out of the cycle of poverty and into a life of economic independence. The offspring from the livestock are required to go to another family in need, thus creating a cycle of self-reliance and community development!
How can you help? There are many ways to support Creative Change:
1). Host a card party. Invite your friends over for a night of hors d'ourves and share the mission of Creative Change while providing an opportunity for your guests to purchase cards.
2). Take Creative Change cards to your place of work, church, or neighborhood.
3). Volunteer at a card-making party.
4). Purchase Creative Change cards directly.
Packs of eight cards plus envelopes will be sold at a suggested donation of $10/pack. Please add $2 for shipping.
Let's make a creative change in our world!
