“Double Blessing” Gift Basket Project
Our Story
Like so many other times in our ministry, we stumble along, trying to keep up with what God is doing. Such is the case of our gift basket project. A few years ago, a drug and craft store went out of business. They called us and asked if we could use bath and body items, cosmetics, toiletries, gift items, ribbon, and many other odds and ends. "Of course we can!" was our immediate response, not having a clue what we would do with 500 tubes of lipstick and nail polish! As we sat there surveying the room overflowing with these items, someone mentioned making gift baskets. That started us on what is now a profitable and successful cottage industry.
We call our baskets, "Double Blessing" Gift Baskets because, not only do they bless the recipient, they also bless the Hope House and its residents.
Our Donors
One of the reasons we can make such beautiful baskets and sell them so reasonably is the many businesses who donate their products to us. We would like to thank the following businesses and individuals for their continued support:
Eddie’s Country Store of Pinetop, AZ donates their special preserves, muffin mixes, salsas, jarred goods, and other fine grocery items for baskets that warm the heart and tummy.
Gold Canyon Candles of Mesa, AZ give us their wonderful candles to grace our baskets.
Jessica Ivanchov donates Avon products that give our baskets an exclusive feel.
Many others have brought in bath products and other items to be used and we are so grateful.
A special "Thank You" goes to The Helen S. Boylan Foundation for their generous grant for this project which allows our Hope House residents to earn a commission on each basket that will go into savings for when they depart Hope House.
