Hope and Healing project


For the entire month of September, shop "Hope and Healing" on etsy.com and help out a great charity. Here is more info from http://sojournquilts.etsy.com/, who is organizing this project.

"This is the third time Rape Response Services and Etsy have teamed up to raise awareness and money for this important issue. For more information about Rape Response Services, you can check out their website athttp://www.raperesponseservices.org/.

Here are some sellers who've generously provided items that, when sold, will benefit RRS:http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title&search_query=hopeandhealing

"Rape Response Services (http://www.raperesponseservices.org/) is a non-profit agency in Bangor, ME that provides educational and community outreach programs for adult and child victims of sexual violence and the people who support them. The project for Hope and Healing is a collaboration between RRS and Etsy sellers who've generously agreed to donate part or all of the proceeds from the sale of their handmade items to Rape Response Services. Donations are made by Etsy sellers directly to RRS and will be used to support the following programs: 24-hour hotline, community and business outreach, school-based outreach, volunteer training, and support groups for victims of sexual violence. Contact information is available at the RRS website if you'd like more information about the organization or the project for Hope and Healing."


I am donating the proceeds of my button earrings and other button items: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7052165
