All the artisans served by Designed For Joy are food insecure. We take feeding them very seriously. If food insecurity is important to you but you're too busy at work to make a meal, one easy way to help is to stock our pantry or fridge. We've made 2 Instacart Lists to make it easy for you to spend whatever amount you choose and you never have to leave your desk. On behalf of our artisans, thank you. https://bit.ly/4eJEidW
