Come shop unique hand-crafted gifts and change lives!
Anchor South Bay Church is hosting a virtual party with Heavenly Treasures and Shop With A Mission. We have gratefully had a long standing relationship with Heavenly Treasures and want to invite you to support their work.
During the party, you'll be introduced to the work of Heavenly Treasures and have the opportunity to purchase hand made, and unique items from around the world.
Heavenly Treasures works with artisans in world's most vulnerable places. HT employs the poorest of the poor to empower them and break the cycle of poverty.
100% of all sale proceeds benefit the artisans. Shop with a Mission is the vehicle they use to sell the products handcrafted by the artisans.
Invite your friends!
Thank you, Anchor!
