At checkout, customers will be given a choice of which of the 15 organizations their purchase will benefit.

While the project’s primary goal is to raise money for the (15) partner organizations, a secondary goal is provide a fun, creative outlet and a bit of art-therapy to all Philadelphians facing isolation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
