Let’s celebrate a little happy!! The Thursday before the storm came through that has temporarily closed our Gallery, we were lucky enough to make our 5th annual donation to the Hendersonville, TN Police Department’s Santa Cop Program. We once again partnered with our incredible neighbors at New Beginnings Furniture TN and so many of our patrons to collect over 150 toys and $4,330 in CASH DONATIONS We always aim to beat our best and this year we quadrupled our previous goal! Thanks to you, children in need will not only receive Christmas toys, but they will also be getting new clothing, their families will get Christmas dinner, and senior citizens that would otherwise have been alone will receive gifts as well. Our hearts are so full from all of your generosity and we are already preparing for next year!
We also had some fun with the officers while they were with us and had them draw for the 25 prizes we have to give away to some of the individuals who made cash and toy donations (every toy or every $10 earned you an entry towards a prize of your choice!) Some winners were notified before we had to close but we promise that we will continue to notify the others who won as soon as we reopen.
Thank you a hundred times over to everyone who made this year’s event a success. The officers told us that they received more applications for assistance this year than ever before and we are so thankful that we are part of a community that can come together and help each other
