WORN for hope, WORN for peace, WORN for fashion: WORN

WORN is a new program of Catholic Charities. WORN represents a social enterprise that seeks to meet both fiscal and social goals. The overall objective is for WORN to become a sustainable business venture that generates revenue for Catholic Charities and meets social aims within the community. One of the program’s goals is to provide a supplemental income to refugee women that have been resettled in the United States. Many refugees are being resettled in the United States from all over the world. Some of those refugees have generations of experience hand crafting knitted clothing. WORN intends to collaborate with these refugees by providing a supplemental income in exchange for hand woven circle or cowl scarves. All fashion design will be produced from within the WORN staff.
