Glass for Good 1.png

Whether you're rooting for each other or championing an Anti-Violence Social Club, you can bring both messages home and let twice the good shine through!

​

Our Glass for Good suncatchers, created in partnership with Blenko Glass, are a beautiful way to celebrate the power of community while making a meaningful difference for survivors.

​

🌱 Fig: "Root for Each Other"

🍀 Clover: "Anti-Violence Social Club"

​

And here's the best part: 50% of the proceeds from every suncatcher sold benefit survivors staying at Branches Domestic Violence Shelter!

​

A little beauty for your windows. A little light for your space. And a whole lot of good for your community. 💜
