Women At Risk, International: Speaker and Shop

Sunday, November 7, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

Join us Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 11:30 am in the sanctuary as we hear from WAR, International founder, Rebecca McDonald about the work they do to rescue people from, and prevent, human trafficking. All are welcome! This is a public event. Masks required indoors for large gatherings.

After the presentation, stay with us to shop at the War, Intl., pop-up boutique:

“When you buy a product from the WAR Chest Boutique, you are truly a fellow soldier in the fight to set women and children free from exploitation and slavery. The WAR Chest Boutique is the retail arm of the non-profit organization, Women At Risk, International (WAR, Int’l), which includes our online boutique, retail stores, and product parties held in homes, businesses, and churches throughout the United States. We are a treasure chest, if you will, of unique gifts hand-crafted by or sold in support of at-risk women (and even men) in our partnering programs in over 40 countries.

The stories of the survivors we support are the lifeblood and heartbeat of WAR, Int’l. They are the pulse and purpose behind the programs we plan, the speakers you hear, and the jewelry you wear. Every product you find on our site and in our stores comes with a story card allowing you to read personal stories of men, women, and children who have passed through our programs.

Our mission is two-fold. We seek to market and sell handcrafted items made by at-risk and rescued men and women from around the world, supporting culturally sensitive, value-added intervention projects, while educating our shoppers about the risks the vulnerable face in our world. We invite you to shop with a purpose at the WAR Chest Boutique!”
