Welcome to the Blessings Boutique.
The Blessings Boutique is our ongoing fundraiser for the Garage of Blessings. All proceeds go towards our operating expenses: rent, utilities, insurance etc. Since we are entirely volunteer run, no proceeds are used to pay staff.
All items in the boutique are donated and are posted by suggested donation only. Our stock changes constantly, so stop by often!
We appreciate the support of our Blessings Boutique patrons and we couldn’t “keep the lights on” without them. Please stop in and take a look, The volunteers do a wonderful job stocking the boutique. Our inventory changes constantly, so please check back often!
We accept debit, credit and cash). We are sorry that we cannot accept checks.
History
The idea for the Blessing Boutique had its beginning in 2018-2019 , but it didn’t get its official launch until the Fall of 2019. Once the pandemic hit, the option of having a large scale “Garage Sale” type fundraiser (which had been our primary source of income) became impossible, at least temporarily.
Since our reopening to the public in Fall of 2020, the Blessings Boutique has been our main source of income. In 2021, our operating expenses increased substantially when we began paying rent to Sound Publishing, even though we had reduced expenses by becoming 100% volunteer run.
Other Fundraising
We are so grateful for the boutique’s success. Even so, it isn’t sufficient to cover our annual expenses. We apply for grants when they come available and also rely on donations from our generous donors. Please watch for our other fundraisers throughout the year which will help cover the rest of our expenses.
