Our Mission: We are a group of friends who sell mistletoe during the holidays to raise money for the North Texas Food Bank, to feed hungry families in our community.

 

Our Goal: Raise $80,000 so we can feed 240,000 kids!

 

It all started in 2012 when Stella was worried about her friends in New York after Hurricane Sandy hit. She felt helpless watching the news and asked, "What can a KID do to help?!"

 

Stella’s parents recommended a lemonade stand, but she exclaimed, “It’s winter – no one’s going to buy lemonade!” Her solution: cut down mistletoe, decorate it with bows and bells and sell it in the front yard. Her first stand sold out in thirty minutes. "Mistletoe is PURE PROFIT!", she overheard someone say and indeed it was. By the time Christmas rolled around, Stella had raised $2,034 and had a check for the American Red Cross headquarters in New York City.

 

After that first year, Stella enlisted a team of like-minded friends from school to help in the effort. They toured the North Texas Food Bank and felt an immediate connection to helping kids in their own community. The MISTLECREW donned red hats and SOLD, SOLD, SOLD mistletoe, raising an astonishing $234,000 for the North Texas Food Bank in the past five years, FEEDING OVER 702,000 kids!

 

‘Tis the season again and the MISTLECREW and friends are elated to be back selling MISTLEOE in December with GREAT PURPOSE. COME SEE us this DECEMBER! Or JOIN in the Kiss-and-Tella challenge! Help them reach their GOAL to feed 240,000 this year by raising $80,000 for the North Texas Food Bank.

 

Watch us in action!
