We have big dreams to grow nationwide along the emergency shelter circuit; helping women transition into a healthier place of living, alleviating the cycle of poverty, and breaking the bias of people who have suffered from a lack of resources.

Before we do so, we need to create a sustainable system locally. Over the next 12 months, we're looking to expand our marketing reach to increase sales and to increase our paid workforce, as well as, secure a new studio space that allows for greater production and storage of new jewelry products.

We have jewelry launches every quarter.  For Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter we work with a local professional jeweler.  They come in to brainstorm with the Makers (the women we serve). The Makers love being a part of the process and they get to see various jewelry techniques. Each launch requires us to pay for cost of materials, tools, and training.

The vision in the next 5 years
