🩷 HandCraft PINK OUT THE PLANT - 2025! 🩷

This week, our teams in NC, VA, and WV came together for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, filling HandCraft's plants with every shade of pink to show our support for patients, survivors, and families impacted by breast cancer.

As a company that works closely with and supports the healthcare industry, we understand the importance of awareness, education, and early detection in saving lives. Our commitment to healthcare goes beyond providing clean linens. It’s about standing beside the caregivers, patients, and communities we proudly serve.

To everyone who showed up and stood out in pink, thank you for helping us raise awareness and honor those touched by breast cancer. Together, we make a difference. 💪🎀
