The auction is now live! Bid on auction items through Thursday, September 26 at 9pm.
Designed For Joy provides women in crisis with stability through immediate employment and support, removing the stigma of vulnerability. We provide living wage work for women emerging with trafficking, homelessness, time in prison and other vulnerable situations.
Join us in celebrating that in 7 years we have hired over 170 women with over $600,000 in living wages earned.
We have large tents and will be covered the entire night should there be any rain. Evening of Giving will continue as planned!
