Program works with Sisters in Shelter
TIFFIN, OHIO – June 3, 2021 – Beginning today, a new boutique website has launched for Hope’s Landing, a non-profit social enterprise partnering with Sisters in Shelter in Downtown Tiffin. Hope’s Landing features products including candles, soaps and lip balm that are produced by human trafficking and domestic violence survivors.
By working with clients of Sisters in Shelter, Hope’s Landing offers survivors the opportunity to gain employment and earn a wage, job skills, and access to education, such as money management courses, and mental health services.
Sisters in Shelter is a non-profit organization located in Downtown Tiffin, Ohio that offers services to human trafficking and domestic violence survivors, including operating a safe house. The organization also strive to educate the community on these issues and the need to address them in Tiffin.
“For some clients at Sisters in Shelter, it is incredibly difficult to transition back into normal life after leaving our services. I am excited that we can help these women earn an income, learn life skills and still be part of the lifelong support system Sisters in Shelter has in place,” said Leah Cordy, Founder and Executive Director.
Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz said, “Hope’s Landing provides a valuable service for the women who are helped by Sisters in Shelter. It is exciting to see this next step for this very important program.”
