Ferguson Signs of Hope 2015 wall calendars available now to support the Ferguson community

FERGUSON, Mo. - Dec. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- As of December 16, the “Ferguson Signs of Hope” 2015 wall calendar will be available online at: http://www.yearbox.com/calendarsforgood/signs-of-hope-2015-calendar/ for $15 each (two or more for $13 each). The calendar showcases images of the newly painted downtown Ferguson, Missouri where people of all ages have been volunteering their time and talent to turn boarded-up windows into inspiring murals of art. Sales of the 8.5″ x 11″ calendar support the Ferguson Community Development Fund (http://www.gofundme.com/the_vine_ferguson), a community initiative to help business, employees and others rebuild a future in Ferguson. The current focus is support for businesses closed and/or damaged in Ferguson and the people affected by these closings.

You may also donate directly to the Ferguson Community Development Fund online through its gofundme campaign (http://www.gofundme.com/the_vine_ferguson). The fund is spearheaded by The Vine, a program through the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church (http://saint-stephens.info/), located in Ferguson. The Vine is collaborating with resident-led ONE Ferguson (http://www.oneferguson.com/) to support children, commerce and the community. Since 2005, The Vine has engaged in community building and collaboration in Ferguson whether that be through music, food, youth programming and now collaborative community building.

“The outpouring of kindness toward Ferguson these past several months is nothing short of spectacular,” said St. Stephen’s Father Steve Lawler. “The most recent visible sign of people coming together and caring has been the hours and talent lent to creating beautiful murals on what would otherwise be ugly, depressing boards on dozens of businesses in Ferguson. This calendar is a way to share these works of art with as many people as we could as quickly as we could while raising funds to continue what will be a long journey of recovery.”

Currently the calendar is only available online, to find out if it is available in any stores within metro St. Louis, continue to check online at http://www.yearbox.com/calendarsforgood/signs-of-hope-201....
