Crafts 4 Hope Foundation, Inc
Bringing Joy
Each month, we try and schedule two crafting events for the community to enjoy.
Meeting Needs
While crafting and chatting, small needs are made known. We aim to meet those needs.
Goal
We hold FREE crafting events for the community and nonprofits. It costs Crafts 4 Hope $2 per person per event, and we rely on the donations of others and I sell our crafts at craft shows and at the events to keep these events free. Paid special events also available for parties to also help raise funds.

About Our Charitable Foundation
Vision
We will strive to bring hope to a seemingly dire situation through the joy of crafting and through networking, meeting small individual needs daily. A smile, a hug, a friend, a prayer and the Ministry of Presence, fills a heart with hope in an otherwise hopeless situation - Bringing Joy. Meeting Needs.
Mission
To be a beacon of light for the Lord in a dark world to those who are experiencing any need, to help those with health issues, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, disability, mental health issues and substance abuse in the community in which I live and beyond through prayer and to help other nonprofit charities in any way the Lord leads through the joy of crafts such as diamond art, coloring and card making.

What have we achieved since our existence?
Crafts 4 Hope Foundation, Inc has been in operation since April 2024. I retired as a registered nurse because I have a neuromuscular condition that affects my balance, and no longer able to do bedside nursing, I am still able to care for my community through sharing the joy of crafting. 2018 was the first time I had a craft or a hobby of any kind. I started with diamond painting and then branched out to coloring and then, card making. I worked hard all my life but now I have retired, and crafting gives me such joy that I want to share my joy with others. Being a nurse by trade, I am a natural comforter of souls so, I thought to myself, “People are in a world of hurt right now. Money is tight. Many people are homeless or on the verge of losing their housing. People are sick and need a hug and many people need prayer. What can I do to make them feel better?” And so, I pulled out a coloring book, bought a few hamburgers and sat at the riverfront in Bridgeton NJ and colored with a few lost, homeless souls. We sat and talked, and I prayed with them and as the weeks passed, with the help of my online friends to help with the cost of becoming a 501(c), Crafts for Hope Foundation Inc was born. |
We need your cards:
Cumberland Family Shelter
Thank you so much for the crafts and the woman's clothing that you have donated. These items are very much appreciated.
Gateway Community Partnership
We plan community events and donate appropriate crafts to this organization.
Unfortunately, the baby boutique store has ended so any baby clothes donated goes to the local NICU or to those in need that come to the attention of Crafts 4 Hope.
Cornerstone Woman's Resource Center
Once a year, Cornerstone still has their annual "Baby Bottle Drive" where money is collected to render pregnancy services for those in need and Crafts 4 Hope is proud to be a part of these fundraising efforts.
Family Success Center
Our events are planned here. A crafts table is set up at each event in the hopes to raise many to keep events FREE.
Card Ministry
Calling all card makers! We accept diamond painted cards. We accept repurposed cards. We accept any cards fronts that could be used for our card ministry. Your cards help bring smiles to those in need. Each month, volunteers make cards for nursing homes, the local cancer center and the population in our community.
