Arm in Arm: Hands & Feet Project
Monday, June 2nd, 2008Twice a year, Petunia holds an incredible Outlet Sale of Certified Seconds and Discontinued Classics from the PPB line (click here to find out when the next sale is) with a portion of the proceeds benefiting children’s charities in our own community and across the world.
We were honored to donate $6,500 from our last sale to Hands & Feet, a non-profit Haitian orphanage whose mission it is to “raise a generations of orphans in their own culture who will change their country.” Why Hands & Feet? According to Korie Conant, “We met personally with co-founder Mark Stuart and were impressed with how he and his organization are truly making a difference. Each orphan with the Hands & Feet project is given a new life with medical attention, education, and a nurturing environment. We are honored that we might have a hand in changing a child’s life for the better through our donation.”
Starting in 2004 with only a parcel of land and a passion to make a difference, Mark Stuart and his band Audio Adrenaline embarked on the construction of facilities to care for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of orphans in Haiti. Hands & Feet now cares for more than 34 children, from 2-months to 9-years old and has plans to open another home in Nicaragua. By connecting world-renowned bands with each new site opening, Hands & Feet’s goal is to promote their call for help by utilizing the prevalence of pop culture to bring about awareness, compassion and aid to children in need around the world.
