Empowered Women International (EWI) is working on a variety of seasonal art gifts – all handcrafted by immigrant and refugee women in our program – to raise funds for our cause and support our women beneficiaries.
We are collecting any old or not needed art supplies. If you know of any stores that can donate art supplies, please email us. Please share this with your friends!
