And that’s a wrap! ❤️
I’ve been meaning to post in the lead-up to closing, with a special countdown to build a little suspense and urgency. But if I’m being completely honest, it all felt a little overwhelming.
What an insane 10 weeks it’s been running our pop-up. I honestly can’t express how grateful we are for this opportunity. We’ve met so many beautiful people, and I hope that, in some small way, we’ve been able to support our community and leave a lasting impression of what House of Alms is all about.
God placed us in front of so many people who needed something, and with every interaction, we learnt something new. This initiative has set us up for the future in more ways than one, both financially and through the experience we’ve gained. We now have a much clearer understanding of what to expect when we return, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be even more prepared to double our impact in our next project.
I’m also incredibly grateful that we got to say goodbye to most of you in person. The final week was such a bittersweet one, filled with so much gratitude as we reflected on everything these 10 weeks have brought us.
As many of you know, our team was very small, which makes this next part especially important. A huge thank you to every volunteer who gave their time, energy and heart to help make this pop-up possible. And, of course, thank you to everyone who donated, visited, shopped, shared our journey or simply stopped by to show your support.
We truly felt the love, and it carried us through the challenges and reminded us why we started in the first place.
Thank you for being part of it ❤️
