Shop to help: You can support our life-changing programs by shopping at our Thrift Boutique and our Bright Futures Candle company.
Both of these businesses are social enterprises created with the intention of providing valuable job training for our clients.
You might be wondering, "what's a social enterprise?" Put simply, a social enterprise is a cause-driven business improving social objectives and serving the common good. You can be a part of it!
