Plastics Recycling for Park Bench
Help me collect 400 lbs of plastic lids to be recycled into a park bench to put in front of the store. These lids can be from any container: pop bottles, milk bottles, water bottles, etc... This is a fun way for customers as well as the community to get involved and help me recycle throw away plastic into something functional and beautiful that can be shared by all. Once I have the prerequisite amount of plastic, it will be turned over to Green Tree Plastics to be recycled into a bench.
Come meet Joey! He's a little white dog that was rescued from a shelter by Rose Ann Cook, fabric designer and quilt shop owner. Joey was viewed as unadoptable because he only had one eye. Rose Ann adopted him and he now is the fabric shop greeter. Benartex and Rose Ann will donate 10% of all proceeds to The Petfinder Foundation.

Helping Hands' Angel Gown Program
Helping Hands’ Angel Gown® Program began in 2013 because we recognized there was an overwhelming need for better support for families who lost a baby. Our Angel Gown® Program provides comfort for bereaved families through the gift of a beautiful custom made gown for final photos and for burial services. We provide support resources and mentoring programs for bereaved families as well. There is no greater gift that can be given to a grieving family than affirming the importance of the life of their child by offering the simple gift of our Angel Gown® and supporting them emotionally and educationally afterwards. Our program is made possible because of wonderful donors and volunteers who have often experienced the loss of their own children or of another loved one. Brides from around the world donate their precious wedding gowns to NICU Helping Hands. The wedding gowns are then distributed to our team of over 700 seamstresses throughout the United States to convert into perfectly made garments that a family will use to wrap their precious baby in for their final journey. Our garments are a gift of love from both a bride and a seamstress to honor not only a precious baby but their family as well. It is a privilege for us to provide gowns free of charge to any hospital or family requesting our Angel Gown® garments.
