To the "celebrities"

I just sent out a dozen requests via Twitter to "celebrities" asking them to donate Tees for PF.

This post is addressed to them.

Project Fellowship is about people giving what they have to people who need it. I make Tees into bags and sell them, and ALL the proceeds go to buying food to put on the tables of EVERYONE in La Plata County, Colorado.

I'm not aiming for the sob stories, although they are included. I'm aiming for the "everyone else" category. The middle. The people that aren't getting their houses repossessed, but are still struggling to make ends meet. The families that are generally overlooked.

All I'm asking for is ONE T-shirt. ONE. How much time, energy and money does it take to get a shirt, sign it, and mail it? I understand your lives are busy and schedules are full, but there are a LOT of families who are struggling, and SO MANY can benefit from the funds made by selling your shirts.

Let me give you an example.

for $31.00 I can give food to 9 families. NINE. That's pretty significant. I'm asking you for your help.

Fellowship is people helping people....will you help me help others??

The address and any further information you would need is on the page labeled "PF info" above....please consider helping.

Your respectful friend,
Rebecca

A HUGE contribution

Today I was chatting with my dear friend David, who happens to be a very successful actor on a very popular TV show, and he has agreed to see if he can donate some shirts {possibly with signatures} for me to turn into bags to sell for PF!!

I am so grateful for the fact that God has brought David into my life, he's been such a dear friend and steadfast supporter of my dreams, if he is able to pull this off, I will be ever in debt to him.

A little time, a little $$

I was originally planning on making the T-shirt shopping bags to hand the food out in, but after I posted a photo of one of the bags on Facebook last night, I got an amazing number of inquiries about how much a I charge, so I got to thinking.....

What if I make these shirt bags and sell them instead, then all the proceeds would go towards being able to buy MORE food for PF.

What do you think?

I think it's brilliant, and I think it could be rather lucrative.

There are a few friends who are going to try to send me a box of shirts from California, that would help a bunch, then I can rummage through the thrift shops here and get some more for fairly cheap, as well.

Over all I think this could work.

three down...

Here is one of the shopping bags I made from an old T-shirt. It was one of my favorite shirts, but the sequins cut my arms. I think it makes a great looking bag!!

The T-Shirt mission

Have you seen those reusable shopping bags? Are they groovy? I love the idea of using them over the plastic or paper bags.

I've decided to make some to give the Angel Food away in.

Just a personal touch and an additional way to show them that I care.

All that to say that I'm now taking T-Shirt donations. They can be used, but they can't have any holes, and they can be any size.

So if you'd like to send some my way, please do!!

There is a new page tab with all of the information one would need to participate or educate in Project Fellowship, a mail box number is included, it's just a post box, but I check it every week.

The new look

So you may notice that the header is a little different. I really wanted a logo that was more custom than a photo of a strawberry, so I went into Paint and started messing around.

I had an idea of what I wanted, so I started with a simple sketch and went from there.

I'm actually really pleased how it turned out. usually I don't like my own work but in this case I knew that trying to communicate to someone else what I saw in my head wasn't going to work out.

What do you think??

1st order placed!

I signed the check and handed it in. On Saturday I'll get my first official Project Fellowship box of food! I can't wait! I'm so excited I can burst!!
