Start your butterfly effect

One small movement
Endless possibility

Your gift creates a ripple of discovery, confidence, belonging, and possibility—giving each participant the space to spread their wings. We’re raising $850,000 to open in Summer 2027, released in three tranches against milestones: five channels, five kinds of supporters. Find the one that’s you.

Three interns, 2,300 internship hours, and 1,800 garments processed already, without a storefront. This raise is for the building.

Get involved

There’s a place for you on this bridge.

Four ways in. Pick the one that fits, and we’ll take it from there.

For adults with intellectual and developmental differences — and the families standing beside them. Start with our Discovery Phase: no pressure, all exploration, sixteen stations to try.

Volunteer

The boutique floor, the processing room, the coffee bar, the camera stand. A few hours a week here builds someone’s confidence shelf by shelf — often yours included.

For individuals 16+

Say hello

Donating clothing, asking about an order, writing a story about us, or just curious what happens inside the boutique — this is the door for everything else.

What happens to it

Five stations, five people, one garment.

  1. 1

    Your jacket arrives

    Logged in at receiving. A trainee records the donor, the count, and the date — the first entry on your tax receipt.

  2. 2

    A trainee grades it

    Seams, zippers, pilling, authenticity. Real judgment calls, made by someone learning to make them.

  3. 3

    It’s cared for

    Laundered, steamed, finished. Fabric care is its own station and its own certifiable skill.

  4. 4

    A trainee lists it

    Photographed, measured, written up, and posted to the shop, eBay, Mercari, or a live Whatnot show.

  5. 5

    The team gets paid

    It sells, and the proceeds fund another shift.

Yes, you get a tax receipt

We email an itemized acknowledgement within three business days of intake. You assign fair market value; we confirm the item count and date.
