Honoring Mothers by Empowering Women

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. - May 2, 2025 - PRLog -- As Mother's Day approaches, Habitat for Humanity of the New River Valley (HFHNRV) is proud to celebrate the strength, resilience, and love of mothers through a powerful new initiative at its ReStore. In partnership with Franciscan Peacemakers, the ReStore is now featuring a curated selection of handcrafted bath and body products, with proceeds supporting the Women's Resource Center (WRC) of the New River Valley in Radford.

This campaign offers a unique way for the community to honor the mothers in their lives while giving back to women who are rebuilding theirs. Every purchase supports survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, and addiction—women served by both Franciscan Peacemakers and the WRC.

"This Mother's Day, we invite everyone to celebrate by giving a gift that gives twice," said James Drader, Executive Director at HFHNRV. "These products are made by women overcoming incredible obstacles, and every sale helps support safe shelter, counseling, and hope for women in our own community."

The Women's Resource Center has been a refuge for survivors in the New River Valley since 1977, offering emergency services, advocacy, and support. By purchasing items such as handmade soaps and lotions, shoppers contribute directly to this mission of empowerment and healing.

Visit the Habitat ReStore at 1675 N Franklin St, Christiansburg, VA, to shop for a cause and show appreciation for the women who shape our lives. More information is available at www.habitatnrv.org.
