Chris Bourassa is a passionate volunteer who wanted to continue giving back to her community when she lost her job. So she started making one-of-a-kind bracelets with recycled buttons to support children who were homeless and living at a group

Another shout-out and huge thank you goes to Salon West for their collection of hats and mittens for children in need. These also go to the Children's Task Force to be disbursed to children through the shelter or other emergency situations. Salon West has always been a wonderful supporter of Buttons for Babes and we couldn't do it without their help! Every little thing counts!! Thank you!! ❤💪🎁
