YOU HELPED ME RAISE $7K FOR WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My friends and followers have contributed nearly $7,800 so far to World Central Kitchen. I offered a free pattern for this sunflower pin, and asked folks to contribute what they could to this organization, which is feeding refugees from Ukraine and those who remain in Ukraine. WCK has an excellent charity rating, and helps hungry people in crisis due to war and environmental disasters around the globe.
