Check this out. Aaron did a great story on us. The photo is of two volunteers refinishing a quilt rack. They had never done anything like that before. I wish you had been here to see their self-esteem skyrocket! This is part of what we've done to make unsaleable items saleable. The proceeds go back into the program.
Some of the other items we've worked on include:
* Broken Mirrors + Broken Picture Frames Fix them. Put them together. Presto! You have mirrors again.
* Etched glass.
* Refinished furniture.
* Beaded jewelry.
Many of the kids who come to us come to serve court ordered community service. These kids have broken lives. By taking these items and making them usable we're also making a statement to the kids. Their lives are also salvageable. No matter what your life situation. No matter what has been done to you and no matter what you've done you can overcome.
That's our message and I'm sticking by it.
