We need you - we need your talent - we need your help!
Our Spring/Summer project this year is to provide the Owsley County Outreach Program with new, handmade craft items to sell at the upcoming Appalachian Festival (www.appalachianfestival.org). A couple of us will travel to the event in Ohio and help them sell these items to raise money for food for the children of their area. Many of these children do not have more than 1 meal a weekend during the school year and we aim to help change that. On Fridays the Outreach program provides backpacks full of food to the schools who in turn send them home with the children. Obviously, this is costly and they get no federal funding. The annual festival can bring in a great deal if we can provide sellable items. Big ticket items include handmade quilts and blankets! We will take any handmade craft item and fill our cars to help assist them in their fundraiser.
