Program Participants Benefits
A Beautiful Gift Pack
Our Fall 2022 enrollment gift is a beautiful collection of Renaissance Ribbons that are perfect for embellishing your purses. Each Atelier Angels giving at the $49 level, or those who sign-up at that level will receive this gift valued at $50 USD
Seamstress Prayer Guides
Starting in August 2022 all our Atelier Angels (giving at any level) will begin receiving a weekly prayer guide that features a specific seamstress in our program. You'll get to know her name and story and even see a brief video. We hope these are a blessing and allow you to pray more effectively for our staff.
Meet-A-Seamstress Zoom Calls
Atelier Angels giving at the Sapphire Level will be invited to attend a monthly zoom call where you'll get to meet a seamstress, hear her testimony, and ask questions. This will be an intimate time of sharing, encouragement, and prayer.

How Your Gifts Help Us
Staffing
Our leadership team at the cooperative currently includes a master seamstress, a master knitter, and a project manager. With your help we’ll continue to grow the team so that together they can serve more children in their community and strengthen their program. Our staffing budget also ensures we can pay our cooperative members a good amount for their piece-work.
Facility
With your help we pay the rent, make upgrades, and do our best to keep it nice. Someday we’ll need our own building – and your help will be vital.
Equipment
Sewing rooms have constant equipment needs, from machines to tools – the cornerstone of a good sewing studio is the quality of the equipment. By giving monthly you help us constantly work to improve the equipment available in the workshop.
