Heartland Alliance believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their own lives. Each year, this association helps to ensure this opportunity for more than one million people around the world who are homeless, living in poverty, or seeking safety. Thanks to such a large group of supporters, Heartland Alliance has been around for 125 years, and they are able to continue their fight to stop poverty!
In an effort to help raise awareness and money for Heartland Alliance, AllFreeHolidayCrafts is collecting handmade ornaments to donate to the charitable organization throughout the month of November 2014. In addition to these handmade ornaments, Prime Publishing LLC will also be donating one dollar for ornament collected (up to $1,000) and the ornaments will be handed out to the families at Heartland Alliance’s residential homes throughout the month of December 2014.
Where to Send Your Ornament
We will be collecting all donated ornaments at our offices in Northbrook, IL and delivering them to the Heartland Alliance upon the completion of the drive. Please have your ornaments delivered to:
Prime Publishing, LLC
Attn: Handmade Ornament Drive
3400 Dundee Road
Northbrook, IL 60062
We will be accepting ornament for 5 weeks, from November 1, 2014 through December 8, 2014.

Such a worthy cause. As soon as I make my ornament I will mail it out. I live in Honer Glen,so it shouldn’t take long. Thanks for mentioning this. Susan Urnikis
Thank you so much, Susan! I look forward to receiving your ornament!

I think this is such a nice idea. It also reminded me of something my Mom once told us.
I don’t remember which of the three of us it was; however, she knocked down the Christmas tree and broke more than half the ornaments on it when she was
expecting one of us.
Thank you, Irene! We’re excited to help out Heartland Alliance in whatever way we can.
Merry Christmas!
I paint the wood ornaments and I have about 50 that are finished, would you be interested in them? For the last 2 years I sent them to the troops in Iraq but they don’t want them this year. Would be happy to send to you. Barb Vileikis
I would love if you could send them in! We would be happy to donate them to the families at Heartland Alliance!
