Jewelers for the Gulf Donating to a Cause

News

Here in Orange Beach, Al. Many of  my friends are in trouble and more so in Mississippi and Louisiana 

We are making  jewels and researching a way to help those in need. Anyone interested, enamelist or metalsmith in helping the families whom have lost their livelihood  because of the oil spill stay tuned while we work out the details.

This is a place I believe would be great to help. Many, as we have found are donating to the Wild Life Foundations but not the people.

• Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans is fighting hunger in south Louisiana through food distribution, education, advocacy and disaster relief.
• One in eight people in Louisiana is struggling with hunger.
• We serve approximately 262,800 clients annually across 23 parishes in south Louisiana through over 235 faith-based and nonprofit member agencies.

OIL SPILL RELIEF

• According to the LA Department of Social Services, it is estimated that 47,656 households may eventually require food assistance due to the effects of the oil spill.

Second Harvest Food Bank member agencies have already experienced a 15 to 25 percent increase in the number of new people seeking emergency food assistance since May 1 in affected communities. We anticipate that this number will grow and that emergency food assistance will be needed in coastal communities for the long term.

Start sending us your images today and we will begin posting them the first of next week on the eBay Giving Works. Our auction is planned to begin Sept 1  and run through Oct 30.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Patsy
