Last week @catholiccharitiesks and @turnstylesthrift had the pleasure of hosting two incredible groups from @catholiccharitiesofsetx and Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas to showcase the heart of our social enterprise operations. 

From innovative processes to impactful outcomes, it was a joy to share how we’re creating sustainable change in our community. A heartfelt thank you to Julieta Machado for spending time with us and inspiring the group to step outside their comfort zones, take bold chances and strive for greatness.
 
Our guests were curious, insightful and truly inspiring. It was a pleasure to engage with such thoughtful minds, and we’re hopeful their operations will flourish and achieve the success they envision. Wishing them all the best on their journey forward!
