Hope and Future Hand-Painted Pottery
Artist Gail Pittman uses her gift of design to help those devastated by Hurricane Katrina. One hundred percent of the profits from her original Hope and Future collection benefit the Red Cross.

Gail’s dedication to service is no small feat; over the past six years her business has raised $650,000 for Habitat for Humanity alone.
