Our Woven Community - Holiday Sale
Our Woven Community (OWC) is a program that provides local resettled refugee women the opportunity to become self-sufficient leaders and become empowered with entrepreneurial skills and economic opportunity.
Participants of the program, (our Artists) learn to use sewing machines, to create beautiful handbags, scarves and other items. We use local donated materials combined with fabrics from African countries to symbolize weaving of cultures. 100% of the proceeds benefit the artists and support program expenses.
