What we’re working toward
Our priorities are expanding showroom access, strengthening referrals and maintaining essential inventory. Future plans may include financial education, workshops, peer gatherings and connections to professional resources. These programs are still in development and depend on participant feedback, qualified partners and sustainable funding.
