FALL 2012 COLLECTION

rooted

WORN is a socially-conscious business of Catholic Charities Fort Worth. The mission of WORN is to provide refugee women living in the United States an opportunity to utilize the traditional skill of knitting to increase their families’ household income, thus empowering them to rise above poverty. Each product is hand-knit by refugee women who have been resettled by Catholic Charities Fort Worth and other local refugee resettlement agencies, who are now living in Fort Worth, TX. Because the women knit out of their home, they are able to overcome significant barriers to employment such as language, transportation, and child care, which normally hinder their ability to work in a traditional environment.

A Business of

Founded in 1910, Catholic Charities Fort Worth is a non-profit organization with a zealous goal to end poverty in our community. By meeting the needs of children, families, elderly, refugees, and immigrants regardless of creed, ethnicity, or culture, we are able to serve and give hope to over 124,000 individuals and families in need each year. More than 90 cents of every dollar donated goes directly

to provide services through over 40 innovative programs, empowering clients to become self-sufficient.

One hundred percent of the net profits from the sale of each scarf is reinvested back into Catholic Charities Fort Worth as a source of unrestricted funds to help their mission of ending poverty.

“To provide service to those in need, to advocate

compassion and justice in the structures of society,

and to call all people of goodwill to do the same.”
