Overview
Mission
It is our wish that your experience while visiting our virtual hearth and home will give you inspiration, comfort, sanctuary, encouragement and a sense of belonging. The special product line we offer at our Center seeks to support in a tangible way an experience of goodness, hope, healing and a deeper meaning to life. It is our hope that all who find our products supportive in their lives will, in turn, offer others support within their sphere of influence. We are a “motley crew” of mostly volunteers who bring you these unique gifts of the Spirit. They are carefully hand made and, for the most part, each piece is unique in appearance and finish. Our intention as we create each piece, is that you each will receive blessing and grace in whatever way you need. We hope, as you come into contact with our gifts, you will be able to feel in some way that you ar.

- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
