Here at Artisans, we recognize that our success is only possible because of the community in which we live. Because of this, we try to give back when we can.
One of our favorite Organizations is Gaithersburg HELP, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. They provide many invaluable services to the less fortunate in our town, particularly in emergency situations. HELP gives assistance in the form of food, infant care, emergency medical needs such as medicine and prescription drugs, transportation, and guidance, support and referrals for people with urgent needs. During 2007, Gaithersburg HELP provided assistance for more than 4200 emergency situations.
In an effort to help this worthy cause, we are starting a food drive for HELP. The drive begins at our Holiday Open House this Saturday, November 15th and runs through December 15th. Everyone who brings a non-perishable food product will receive an reusable Artisans Shopping Bag (while supplies last).
Also, we're still donating a nickel to Gaithersburg HELP every time a customer declines to take a disposable plastic shopping bag with their purchase. So far, we've donated over $100.
