As most of us know, Middle Tennessee saw historic flooding last week. Philanthropy and several other downtown Franklin businesses saw some flooding in store. We received several feet of water in our basement. Luckily, with the help of the Heritage Foundation, we were able to open our store last Wednesday, and even though we had some loss most of our inventory is kept upstairs. Many residents in our community have lost so much more- their homes, possessions, vehicles... everything. We've heard some sad stories this week... and yet we've been struck by the selflessness these victims have. One family who suffered through the flood AND a house fire were housing and caring for neighbors in their parents home. Wow! Franklin is TRUELY a beautiful community, full of loving, helping hearts. We are reminded of this everyday when our locals grace the store, shopping at Philanthropy so that they can make a difference both globally and locally.
We are excited to announce our Franklin Flood Relief Campaign. We are in the process of having shirts designed and printed up, and 100% of the profits will go right back in to the community, helping flood victims. Please add us on Facebook to receive updates on the shirt, as well as this new campaign.
Thank you for shopping and giving back- so many of our customers have told us they make a point to shop in downtown Franklin to support small business. What a blessing you are!

Get ready Mainstreet Festival... Here we come!
The past few weeks have been full of Mainstreet Festival preparations. We've gotten in tons of Philanthropy favorites... including Poo Poo Paper, Skoy Clothes, Paper Bead Necklaces and Bracelets, new Historic Franklin shirts (on Turquoise V-Necks), and lots and lots of spring clothes! Our beautiful, handmade scarves are back in... remember them from November? They are detailed with handmade lace and come in soft spring colors.
We will have a tent on the street that will feature store favorites, and also a NEW Wearable Compassion design, benefitting our Biong Project in Sudan. Come check it out!
Our stores hours for this weekend will be 10-6 on Saturday and 12-4 on Sunday.
We'd like to say a short word to all of you who continually support us... You can't possibly know the great work you have accomplished in God's name by your patronage. As we approach our third birthday, your generosity and beautiful spirits overwhelm us. This has always been a store for God ... and through Him we have come to meet some incredible people. Thank you!

Yikes!
Dear Philanthropy Friends,
The above photographed bracelet was stolen from our shop on Friday March 26th. If anyone has seen this (it's a one of a kind combo) please let us know.
Friends don't let friends steal!

Spring Happenings
We can hardly believe it's already spring. Christopher can't wait to get out to do our store planters, and we are anxiously awaiting Ms. Willow's 3 month old mark! As we look forward to upcoming events like the Main Street Festival, we are preparing to get TONS of new items in the store. Some fun things to look for: a fun new vintage jewelry line, new designs from the infamous Poo Poo Paper products, and lots of beautiful handmade scarves!
2010 has already been a landmark year for the store. This year we are making a huge commitment to the village we sponsor in Biong, Sudan! We feel that this is truly the direction God has led us in (and it's only taken us 3 years to get here, haha). Working with Rosemary, of SEA Partners, and Gui, a Lost Boy from Biong, a trip was taken in January to scout out land to purchase to build a school on. We are planning a new t-shirt campaign to support this cause. Stay tuned in, or stop in the store, for more details on our progress with Biong.
Have a blessed day!
