A portion of all proceeds will be directed to Women, Work, and Community. The Mother’s Day gift package is $25, or items may be purchased individually. Orders must be prepaid. Pick up will be on Saturday April 30, 9 – 2, Friday May 6, 1 – 6, and Saturday May 7, 9 – 2 or by special arrangement.
“This is a great way to honor the mothers in your life. We are thankful that Melissa Hurley from Memories by Melissa Photography and Pam West from the Chocolate Shoppe, Etc. are coming together to support this fun initiative. It is especially heart-warming because both are graduates of our micro-enterprise programs and are continuing to work with us in our Ambassador Program.” said Gilda Nardone of Women, Work, and Community. “From many different perspectives, last year’s partnership with Coffee By Design was very successful. Adding more entrepreneurs as partners to the mix will enable us to build on last year’s successes.”
