Soaring Dreams Inc.

Soaring Dreams Inc. We are a non profit retail program providing a workplace for adults with special needs. They decided on opening a resale shop to fund their vision.

Soaring Dreams accepts & accomodates these individuals' developmental delays & physical limitations allowing them to become contributing members in the community. Two moms founded Soaring Dreams, Inc in 2017 so their adult children with special needs could have a place to continue to learn and grow after leaving school. The shop quickly became a success, with the community stepping up and donating

high quality items to fill the store. The ladies also started microbusinesses within the shop creating opportunities for their kids to find talents and skills that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. I met the ladies when they had decided to retire and close the shop. I loved the concept and decided to take over for them and continue with their vision. I chose to focus on the microbussiness and introduce new products each season. I now have a rotating schedule of 7 special needs volunteers as well as customers who have become like family and help out in various ways. Due to the generousity of our community, Soaring Dreams continues to grow and expand. We have become a "Thrift & Gift Shop" carrying donated items for resale, as well as handmade, giftable items created by my volunteers. Our handmade items include: custom shirts, mugs and coasters; seasonal wreaths, seasonal chocolate goodies, hand stamped leather belts and wallets, personalized ornaments, bracelets and even dog treats and toys as well as walleye harnesses. We are open in our current location through January 15th 2022. Please stop by to see us in the Riverview Plaza, St Clair, MI starting February 1st 2022. Thank you for your support! Vicki Helhowski, CEO

Happy Heat Wave Soaring Dreamers!

And Happy summer vacation to all my school age customers 👏🏻🎉☀️😎

I have to say~ the kids that come into the shop are always so kind and polite! A few even take the time to stop and talk with Jess! (Great job parents!)

So~ look who's back for a visit... Emily, Peaches and Linda☺️
Jess worked on "Diamond Dot" Summer magnets, Patty, Court and Emily teamed up on packaging dog treats, Emily finished our patriotic fabric wreath, Courtney got to shred😉 and Patty made a batch of laundry soap!
Linda helped the ladies make sticky note pen sets, but I didn't get any action shots🤦🏻

Enjoy the pics!
Hope to see you soon!
Thanks for your support!

Happy Stupendous Saturday Soaring Dreamers ☀️
I'm so glad the forecasted showers stayed away👏🏻

An awesome way to end a bit of a hectic week~
Started with car trouble, then more car trouble🤦🏻
Thanks to my dear friend, I only had to close one day😍

So, this happened at the same time I had the shop torn apart ~ resetting fixtures and switching things around.

Thanks Char for all your help, thanks to everyone who contributed to the new clothes racks, and thanks to the kids for all their help!! Ella even came in for awhile today😍

Enjoy the pics!
Hope to see you soon!
Thanks for your support!

Good Thursday evening Soaring Dreamers!

Gosh I've been loving the weather the past couple of days! 😎 Some middle school & high school kids have been coming in- it's awesome to see them and that also means summer is right around the corner 👏🏻

Things have been happening at the shop so far this week~ meal kits & dog treats are stocked!
🍲🐕
We're also starting to stock up on our custom St Clair merch, and the kids are helping to create one area for our handmade items.

Jess and I started moving things around, planning a new space saving layout🤔
We assembled a new rack (thank you Katie!) And thanks to Kim as well~ she sent us a rack that's being delivered tomorrow 😍

I am grateful for your kindness and generosity~ it means a lot, and helps so much!

I will not be able to accept donations for a week or so, so we can catch up!
Thanks in advance for understanding ☺️

Hope to see you soon!
Thanks for your support!

Happy Saturday Soaring Dreamers! I hope all is well and that you are warm and dry!

At Soaring Dreams, every inch of our little shop matters. 💛

We’ve been working hard to create a space that feels welcoming, organized, and inspiring — not just for shoppers, but for the individuals we serve through our retail program and creative opportunities.
As we continue to grow, I’ve realized our current retail fixtures aren’t making the best use of the space we have. After a bit of searching, I found a setup that will improve how the shop functions by helping us display more products, work more efficiently, and create a better experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
The total cost is just under $600, which is a big expense for us. So, with a humble heart, I’m reaching out for help from our amazing community. I’ve added the fixtures to an Amazon Shopping List for anyone who would like to be part of helping Soaring Dreams continue to grow.
Every share, donation, and prayer means more than you know.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make the most of this dream. ✨

Please know I am not asking anyone to purchase a full fixture item. If you’d like to support this project, Amazon gift cards in any amount would help us combine donations toward these much-needed shop upgrades. Thank you for supporting Soaring Dreams and the individuals we serve. 💛

Here's the link if you'd like to see the Amazon shopping list:

Or... call or text Vicki at 586 764 3802! There's lots of other ways you can contribute 😍

Hope to see you soon!
Thanks for your support!
