Apparently, when it comes to snowflakes, we’ve been misinformed.

Adriana, a young and energetic participant in We Care, fills me in, “There’s a factory up in the clouds, stamping the snow, and that’s what’s shaping the snowflakes. They could be the same or different—it depends.”

It’s undetermined whether this explanation had anything to do with the holiday card she was decorating at the time—covered in silver ink-stamped snowflakes.

Here in Holland, Michigan, Adriana was one of 225 kids and 50 employee volunteers stamping, gluing, and coloring during the Herman Miller-sponsored arts and crafts extravaganza known as We Care.

Steve Hightower, a Herman Miller employee and avid volunteer of six years, said his favorite part is “seeing the kids smiling and running around. They get a chance to do crafts that maybe they wouldn’t otherwise. It’s really cool.”

This year marks the 16th anniversary of We Care, our partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs of America and local design firms. We Care reaches 30 communities across North America and this holiday, more than 6,000 youngsters came to craft.

This holiday season, Herman Miller is partnering with architects, designers, and suppliers for its annual We Care event. In 25 cities across the U.S. and Canada, volunteers will help children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America make holiday gifts for their loved ones—everything from tree ornaments to photo frames, holiday placemats, and felt scarves.

It’s the 14th year of a great tradition that brings some very deserving children a day of seasonal good cheer.

In 24 cities across the U.S. and Canada, for the 13th year in a row, Herman Miller folks joined with architects, designers, and suppliers—from over 200 firms—to bring children a day of seasonal good cheer. They helped kids from local Boys and Girls Clubs have fun and make holiday gifts for their loved ones—everything from tree ornaments to sand vases to holiday placemats. It’s a great tradition, and one you might want to be a part of. Contact us to find out about a We Care event near you or look for other opportunities in your city. Happy holidays!
