THE COMMUNITY CLOTH

The Gift of Giving

Dear friends of The Community Cloth,

What a month it has been! One of our long-time artisan, Muna, was featured on Fox 26 earlier this month. We were so thrilled to hear her share her story boldly and the impact she has made among the Houston community thus far. Her life is one that keeps on giving.

I would like to thank you those who have participated in our Mother's Day "Honor a Mother by Supporting a Mother" Campaign by purchasing a photo coaster gift package. We hope the special moms in your life will be blessed. All the proceeds will help further empower our local women artisans. Your support goes a long way. Also, remember to visit our online shop if you are still looking for more personal and meaningful gifts this Mother's Day!

Last but not least, we got some exciting events lined up. Hope we will see you this May. Read more about them below.

Best,
Roxanne Paiva
Executive Director
