For every purchase, part of our proceeds goes towards donations & funding workshops organized by Fallon & Ava that help rebuild the lives of the women.

The Dwelling Place has a special place in our heart, and we hope it does the same for you. As leaders of the Associate Board at The Dwelling Place, we want to redefine the conversation around homelessness. There are many misconceptions around what being homeless really means, and we want to change that. The women at The Dwelling Place are capable, smart individuals who are homeless through no fault of their own. They go to The Dwelling Place for safety and security as they have been battered physically and emotionally and terrified to return to their life. Through donations, workshops, private counseling, and fundraisers, our goal is to share their stories and help rebuild their lives so they can gain their power back.
