WELCOME TO CHANCE FOUNDATION'S ANNUAL CRAFT FAIR! Last year, thanks to all the angels that supported us, we donated $9,000 towards mental health programs for youth right here in the community. In addition, all our crafters appreciated the ambiance, caring approach, and organization of the event. This year will be even better, with a new, bigger location, and extended dates!
