The St. Coletta artisans' products include fused glass and beaded jewelry, hand-woven scarves, colorful tote bags, and hand-dyed silk scarves. Each order comes with a card indicating the item was made by an individual with disabilities, so you are giving a gift to Mom and the person who created it! Your orders will also be packed and shipped by the program's participants.

About the social enterprise. Adult services for people with disabilities are chronically underfunded and St. Coletta Shops offers them meaningful work. The Shops provide vocational training and retail skills to each participant. As they greet customers, learn to take inventory, count money at the cash register, and package and fulfill online orders, participants learn skills that are transferrable to everyday life and outside jobs.

In addition, working at St. Coletta Shops helps prepare adults with disabilities for other work environments by letting them practice basic work skills, such as following directions and time on task, in a supportive, real-world environment.

When you make a purchase from our online or retail stores, you're doing much more than getting a new tote bag, some earrings or a piece of tableware. You're providing opportunities for someone to develop important creative and vocational skills, enabling them to explore their potential through lifelong learning – transforming lives and making a real difference.

Wearing our accessories doesn't just make a statement about your sense of style; it makes a statement about your values. And gifts from St. Coletta Shops are the gifts that give back. They make the perfect Mother's Day gift, wedding gift or gift for that someone special. Each item comes with a card saying it was made by individuals with disabilities right here in the USA!

Spring/Summer collection line sheets available. For more information please contact Rebecca Hill, 202-350-8680 ([email protected]) or Jeff Graubard ([email protected]).
