Feature Story

Making a Difference

Fruit Necklace

When I was reading the news recently, I was horrified to read that 40% of the households in my small city are dealing with food insecurity. 40%!! As such, I am stepping up in my small way. All of my creations made with food like items, all of which are pictured here, such as fruit brooches and necklaces, earrings, veggies, and the like, will have their sales donated to the Mystic Community Market, which serves a large portion of the area, and gets their food from the Greater Boston Food Bank. I will be donating all of the sales of my creative food wearables for the foreseeable future. There are other pieces not included in this newsletter. Feel free to peruse my website. I will certainly be adding more as I create. Thank you for helping to make a difference in aiding those with food insecurity. To visit my website, click https://www.beadsbybeardslee.com .
