THE COMMUNITY CLOTH

Dear friends of The Community Cloth,

The weather has been heating up but that hasn’t slowed us down here in Houston. We are all moved into our new office space that are we are grateful to share with Amaanah Refugee Services, an organization that provides general assistance to help refugees integrate into their new community. You can check out all of the great things they are doing at https://www.refugeelink.com/

Be sure to check out our summer products on our online shop. Our artisans love making bright and colorful items that are perfect for this summer season. We've got a lot of fun summer scarves that go great with tank tops, summer dresses, and much more.

We have a lot of fun events coming up including Asia Fest, Houston Club Happy Hour, and World Refugee Day. Hope to see you at one or all of these events.

Best,
Roxanne Paiva
Executive Director
