Retail Program

One of the many ways we meet the needs of women in our community is through social enterprise. This includes our Retail Program, and our two thrift boutiques, My Sister's Closet and MSC 1092. In addition to allowing us to provide free clothing and household goods to women rebuilding their lives free from violence, social enterprise is our answer to ensuring our long term financial sustainability as an organization. Profits are used to fund services and programs for women dealing with violence or abuse.
