Jilly Bean Jewelry and the Utah Food Bank
I have been blessed with the talent of creating jewelry. It has provided for my family while my husband has been a full time student pursuing a medical career. I'm very grateful that God blessed me with this talent. I also have the ability to talk and touch other people. Recently I volunteered a day at the Utah Food Bank and was blessed to get to know a person in need there. They have a family and 3 of their family member are small children.
When my husband and I were 1st married we couldn't afford groceries a couple of times, and we were blessed by my parents coming to our rescue and purchasing groceries for us. I can't imagine having 3 little tiny children and having to try to explain to them that I don't have money to buy them food to eat when their little tummy's are so hungry. It was a very trying, yet touching day in my life.
For the month of December and January I will donate 10% of every sale through Jilly Bean Jewelry to the Utah Food Bank to help Utah families in need of food. This is the least I can do. God has been there for me and provided for me when I have been in need, and then he gave me a way to support my family so I could put food on my table. I just want to give back and let my Father in Heaven know how thankful I am for my talent that he has given to me and for the graciousness of strangers who support my small business; because it all reality they are supporting my family during some of our most difficult times.
During this time of year, if you are able please donate to your local Food Bank. No child should go hungry, and no parent should have to tell their child that they can't eat tonight. Give back a little of what we are given so much. Even if all you can afford is a couple of cans of food, ANYTHING is better than nothing.
If you would like to look through my jewelry and support this cause please click here. I sell all my products through Facebook and use paypal for purchasing. You simply get on my Facebook and find something you life, tell me, and I'll send you an invoice and I ship EVERYTHING for free. Thank you, and have a very Merry Christmas!
