Strawberry Plains Charity Hosts Christmas Holiday Craft Show

Craft Show Fundraiser Provides Needed Funds for Nonprofit

Jacksboro, Tennessee -- Strawberry Plains is a community divided among three counties. Services are provided to residents of Knox, Jeffers and Sevier. The charity turns no one away who is in need. If they can help they will do so without hesitation. Now, Hope for Healing.Org, is asking for your help in supporting their first ever Holiday Craft Show.

The event will be held on:

Saturday, Nov. 15 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. First Baptist Church is located at 3100 W. Old Andrew Johnson Hwy. , Strawberry Plains, TN 37871. A Google map with street view is available here.

Partnering with them is First Baptist Church of Strawberry Plains. The building occupied by Hope for Healing.Org in the heart of Historic Strawberry Plains is small. It's too small for a craft show. So, the organization appealed to First Baptist Church for help. The church was proud to partner with them to make this event a reality by allowing the use of their fellowship hall.

There will be a wide variety of booths. Vendors from all over have expressed interest. The Hope Booth by Hope for Healing.Org will feature products made by Hope Youth. These will include the ever popular greeting cards. Other items will include gift mugs and baskets. The Hope Youth are becoming widely known for turning damaged thrift items into sought after pieces of value. Their booth will feature some of these recreations.

Free door prizes and no admission make this a great holiday event! The organization is hoping that this will encourage more people will come and enjoy the craft show. Lunch is served beginning at 11:00 am. There is no set charge for the barbecue or pizza. Donations are being accepted. Holiday music and a small car show are being planned.

Free door prizes and vendor demonstrations will be highlighted at various times during the day. Demonstrations will be given on jewelry making and card making by Hope Youth. There will also be demonstrations on making holiday gift mugs and baskets and on making luxurious bath salts. Demonstrations by other vendors are still in the process of being scheduled.

Applications for booth vendors are still being accepted. The cost for a space is $25 which includes a table and chair. The organization has a booth reservation form available for download on their website. More information is also available on the WBIR website here.

This is a family friendly event that is sure to be lots of fun. Come out and support a great cause. You won't want to miss it!

Hope for Healing.Org is the only social service agency providing help to all of Strawberry Plains. The organization works with victims of domestic violence, distributes Angel Food boxes, restores the lives of juvenile offenders and gives free household or clothing to the less fortunate on a referral basis. Hope Youth are teenage volunteers and juvenile offenders who support Hope for Healing.Org.
