Hi Everyone!  I sure hope you had a great holiday season.  We sure did!  Happy New Year also!  Over the season we got to do this really cool program called Giving Back Locally with Sarah's Hope Jewelry.  It's set up that the sales of pieces from the Sarah's Hope Jewelry line qualify for a special donation of 20% to a local group or charity.  We picked the Sherwood Animal Shelter.  If you've been been over to the shelter they are really sweet people.  Most of the workers are volunteers.  They are a city office of Sherwood, but the budget is very low so most of the programs they have come from donations and fund raisers.  We thought they would be a great place to work with.

So we were able to raise over $500.00 to be donated to the shelter.  It was really cool to call them up and tell them what amount had be raised.  Robin, the director, said that the money will go a long way in medical treatments for the animals.  I think it's really great that with your help we could make a difference in a sick animals life. 

Watch for future events that will be coming up to help local charities.  We have a few items going to the Greater Little Rock Arkansas Heart Ball 2012.  That will be here in just a few weeks.  There is a coat drive going on in North Little Rock as well,  We have volunteered to be a drop off location.  If you have any old coats you are needed to clean out, please bring them by.  Someone in need could sure use it.

We are always collection items for the homeless.  Soap, Shaving Cream, Razors, toothbrushes, ect...all of these items can be dropped off at any time.  We collect the items and make kits to be handed out to the homeless.

I hope you have enjoyed reading our blog.  Please feel free to share this on your facebook and twitter accounts.
