Tree of Peace Many branches this tree can sprout no particular direction each notch starting a new life Some branches will be touched by a dancing kite others kissed by clouds in the sky Many faces will gaze at the tree's beauty finding peace in the flowing river among the rocks by Trenna R.

Empowering News! Empowerment Program Benefits From "Tokens for Bags" Initative!
For the next six months, Empowerment will be one of three local organizations benefitting from the "Tokens for Bags' program at Buffalo Exchange, a local resale clothing store on 13th and Grant. Every time you make a purchase, but decline a bag, you receive a token worth 5 cents which you can then donate to the organization of your choice. The shop has a little something for everyone, so please check it out...but remember to bring your own bag! Not only will you be helping Empowerment, but you'll be supporting a locally owned business! Also, make sure to thank the Buffalo Exchange staff for their support and tell all your friends to give their tokens to Empowerment! Every little bit helps, and we appreciate it!

Introducing . . .
The Flossy Project
The Empowerment Program's Flossy Project provides an opportunity for disadvantaged women of The Flossy Project was created not only to help struggling women earn a stable income, but also to act as a form of art therapy. Through education and hands on training, the Empowerment Program provides Flossy Project participants with unique job skills, confidence in their abilities, and a desire to strive for personal success. Each participant receives instruction in sewing and seamstress work, and all Flossy bunnies are completely handmade. The women work very closely and form a tight-knit group in which they are able to discuss their struggles and successes, and encourage each other's personal growth. The many supportive services offered by the Empowerment Program provide a strong foundation for the Flossy seamstresses, and the Flossy Project allows them to build on what they learn in counseling and classes.
