Giving To Our Community

In June of 2009, Little Folks Trading Post & The Hanger launched Wishing Well Charities. Each month we choose a charity dear to us. Donate a $1 to that charity at the time of your purchase and receive 10% off all regular price items. We had such a great response that in 2009 we raised a total of $6,261.34!! Thank you to all that helped give back to our great community. The following are the charities Little Folks Trading Post & The Hanger have chosen to donate money to in 2010.
