Our first crafters exchange will be in April 2014, and a portion of the proceeds will go to help the Rutherford County Domestic Violence Center. The idea came about because of donations that are being made through Miche's Hope Program. I am a Miche Independent Representative, and through Miche's Hope Program, they donate 100% of the proceeds from every Hope Shell sold to cancer research through the Huntsman Cancer Institute. One month out of the year a portion of the Hope proceeds goes to a specially-selected charity. In 2014, they have selected their donations to go towards the cause to help battered women. Since it has been my passion to coordinate a crafters consignment sale, I decided to coordinate the first sale during the same month that Miche has selected their donations to go to battered women and start a new community consignment sale and donate a portion of the proceeds to go to the Domestic Violence Center as a way to give back to my local community.
I am excited about this event, and I hope you all will join me in making this event a success for the Rutherford County Domestic Violence Center.

We will have boxes at the sale set up for anyone that would like to bring items to donate to the center. You can also click on the link here to view information about Miche's Hope Program.
