Mother's Day @ The Bookshop

The Bookshop @ St. Stephen's is proud to support the mission and work of Magdalene, a residential community and social enterprise of women who are survivors of prostitution, trafficking, and addiction.

Residents commit to two years of housing, therapy, and education. They also receive job training through Thistle Farms, a business run by residents which produces soaps, lotions, candles, and other handmade products.

Everything Thistle Farms sells is doubly sustainable. Not only are its wares created in an earth-friendly manner with natural ingredients, but the experience each woman recieves in production, advertising, and marketing provides the basis for a better life.

Founder Becca Stevens is an Episcopal priest and frequent speaker here at St. Stephen's.
