Welcome/Pjila'si
The Violet Rose Gift & Thrift Shop is a program of the After Trauma Empowerment Network (ATEN) and was established for several reasons:
- To raise money to support the operation for service delivery of the After Trauma Empowerment Network.
- To provide a service to the community by providing access to quality used items and clothing affordable prices to individuals and families.
- To provide a venue for local artisans, crafters and creators to display and sell their works of art.
We accept donations such as clothing, footwear, books, records, cds, toys, small household items (i.e., coffee maker, blender, sewing machine, lamps, etc.), dishes, ornaments/trinkets, pictures/artwork, musical instruments, sporting goods, jewelry, and small-medium sized items. Due to space limitations, we are unable to accept large items like couches, chairs, appliances, beds, tables, desks, etc.
All profits from the Violet Rose Gift & Thrift Shop
are donated to ATEN to help and empower
those who have experienced trauma.
