The Stepping Stone

01/04/2020

Hi, all!! It's been a while, but I haven't given up on The Stepping Stone. You're looking at the hopeful future of our shop...our garage! We just met with an architect today, and we'll hopefully hear some good news next week regarding the next step of our plans. Please keep your fingers crossed that the township will allow us to keep things as simple as possible so we can get to work and open as soon as we can. If not, we'll be having a slower timeline, but we will persist and carry on. I'll be sure to keep you all in the loop as we figure out what comes next!

Hello! We have some good news...but some trying news at the same time. :) We may have the opportunity to bring The Stepping Stone even "closer to home." It's gonna take a lot of work and time, but I'll keep you all updated as progress is made! I can't wait to begin to share the next steps as we go along. 💛😁

Imagine knowing that your soap saver was hand-knitted by an ex-inmate that's having trouble building a fresh start for themselves. How amazing will you feel knowing that you directly helped that person? Clean body, clean conscious, happy soul. Check out http://kck.st/2lBHnHL to find out how you can help us!

Look at all this paper that we've been saving and is taking over our home. Ahh!! Instead of throwing it away or burning it, we've been storing it in boxes to take to the local paper recycling facility. It might not look the nicest, but we're trying to be as nice to Earth as we can be. Of course, we can always do better!

Let's try this again. I'm asking for participation and help here so please consider sharing a part of your minds with me. 🙂

Do any of you have ideas of businesses or community organizations that we could reach out to about our campaign? We have reached out to a couple newspapers and organizations so far, but this will only succeed if we get it out far and wide. We want to help human beings. We want to help as many of them as we can. Please share your brain with me so we can do just that!! 😁💚🌍💛

Good morning! If you could purchase one item that a homeless individual created, what would you choose: a knitted washcloth, a perspective photograph, or a canvas painting?

These options and more will all be available in The Stepping Stone! Please consider donating to help us reach our goal! Let's help each other and do some good! 💛🌍💛🌍

Okay, people- it's idea time! If any of you have any suggestions on businesses or avenues to promote our campaign, please share with us now! We have contacted a few different places already, but if any of you have any connections you'd like to share with us, PLEASE do!! I am not opposed to name-dropping you if that will help get us in somewhere. 😉 Let's make this happen!!! 😃💚😄🧡
