Thank you to those who help ACW serve our community.

The Episcopal Church Women of St John in the Wilderness gave ACW a very generous Make-a-Difference grant for the 6th straight year in support of our toymaking program.

“Happy the Hippo” is the Apple Country Woodcrafters mascot celebrating our 35+ years of community service and the creation of over 25,000 handmade wooden toys.

You can help Happy find a permanent home by making a tax-deductible* donation of $100 / $500 or more to the Apple Country Woodcrafters. Donations to the “Happy” campaign will be designated for future facilities development projects.

In exchange you will receive your very own commemorative edition “Happy the Hippo” hand-made toy to enjoy for years to come.

Please send your tax-deductible contribution to:

“Happy the Hippo” c/o Apple Country Woodcrafters, P.O. Box 1836, Hendersonville, NC 28793
