Charity of the Week F.A.Q.

2011 Charity of the Month.

This week we had our last charity of 2011 come in to receive a check for the amount that was raised by the Crafts Direct customers during the month of December. So now the totals - and photos - are in!

Thanks to all of our WONDERFUL customers, our first year of implementing our Charity of the Month program we raised an astonishing $150,000 for charities local to the St. Cloud area. We are so proud of what our customers have allowed us to do with this program and so thankful for it's success in helping the charities that received the donations.

THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROGRAM IN 2011!!

Charity of the Month.

Hi Everyone...and Happy Monday!

Today I wanted to post a huge THANK YOU to all of our customers!!

A few weeks ago the end of June brought the six month mark to our Charity of the Month Program, and with it the totals for the first half of the year.

With the help of our wonderful customers we have raised $61,600 for local charities!

What a wonderful accomplishment and amazing to think that by just donating a $1 when using a coupon you have allowed us to raise so much money for charities in our community.

I'm very excited to see what we can do with the second half of the year!

A full list of the Charities of the Month can be found here (and you can click on each individual month to view the specific totals as well).

January 2011: $7,000 raised for Catholic Charities Food Shelf

February 2011: $5,000 raised for American Heart Association

March 2011: $17,000 raised for March of Dimes - Central MN Division

April 2011: $12,000 raised for Cystic Fibrosis - Great Strides Walk

May 2011: $11,700 raised for Multiple Sclerosis Society - MN Chapter

June 2011: $8,900 raised for Tri-County Humane Society

Crafts Direct's Charity of the Month Program started in January 2011. Each month during the year has a featured charity, which can be found here. When you use a coupon with a dollar donation to the "Charity of the Month" your money will go directly to support the local charities listed. Crafts Direct matches the total with a 5% donation and the charity is presented with a check for the total amount at the end of each month. We are so thankful and proud of what our customers have contributed to these local charities and feel so fortunate to be able to give back to our community in this way. Thank you for your continued support of the Charity of the Month program!
