Jackalope Gives 〰️
Jackalope Arts Founders, Sara and Melissa, have started a California based non-profit, Jackalope Gives, in hopes of finding ways to give back to our communities that we all call home.
The current focus is fundraising on behalf of several Jackalope Arts artisans who have lost their homes in the recent wildfires across Southern California.
Details on Jackalope Gives participation in this event coming soon.
