The mission of BraveWorks, formerly Fashion & Compassion, is to empower women and families overcoming trauma and injustice, bridging the gap from pain to purpose through: 1) Impactful Connections- We gather artisans into our community-then we surround and support them with mentors, partners, and resources that equip and empower them. 2) Inspired Creations- Our artisans handcraft works of art-a restorative process that teaches them skills, instills hope, and ignites their sense of purpose. 3) Economic Confidence- Artisans emerge from programs and partnerships with us as confident contributors to society and with momentum towards economic mobility. How You Can Help: 1) Your purchases and donations go back to equipping and empowering vulnerable women locally & globally. The Shop is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm & Saturday 10:00 am- 4:00 pm.
