NATURE'S ART VILLAGE SUPPORTS SAFE FUTURES

Nature’s Art Village helped customers find the perfect gifts throughout the holiday season and wrapped in a message of giving along the way. From Thanksgiving until Christmas donations were made to Safe Futures during a gift wrapping event; in which, $250 was generously donated and then matched by Nature’s Art Village. This was added to an annual pennies and tips fund collected at Nature’s Art Village for a total donation to Safe Futures of $4,500.
