Grandfather Home

As the new year came and went, Dru and I were thinking hard on ways we could give back to the community through out this coming year. We don't want to be a business that sets out to create more money so our business can profit more, but yet our goal is to every year grow stronger as a business so we can help our community and give back. It feels SO GOOD to give back! So anyways, this past year we have spent time as a family investing our love, support and energy into two very special children ages 14 years and 16 months as their foster parents. This past week they went home and there is a huge hole in our family. Because I have two very dear friends that work for DSS we could not be foster parents with them and we were referred to an agency called Grandfather Home.  What a blessing!  This agency is amazing and so supportive.  To make a long story short on how they run...they are a non-profit agency that survives on donations only.  While we had our foster children we were able to take part in the Grandfather Club one time which enabled us to take the children on a special vacation-a once in a lifetime experience for these two children.  The Grandfather Club also gives families money for children who may need special shoes to walk, or even a special pair of glasses, and the list of their generosity goes on.  

So, as you can guess, this has been one of our choices for giving back this year!  A portion of every sale will go to Grandfather Home to help enable this agency to further aid the experience of children in foster care, as well as the Grandfathers Club that gives these deserving children a little "extra" something.
