The Union Gospel Mission recently thanked Apparelcamp for hosting an incredible networking event where they were able to connect with and hire a Sewing Coordinator, Maryanne Matthias, for the launch of their newest Social Enterprise; A venture where the residents recovering from addictions learn how to repair high end boutique items earning a stipend per repair, which are then sold at the UGM thrift store. Maryanne Matthias is the Founder and Director of Osei-Duro, ethical clothing rooted in traditional textiles, based in Accra, Ghana and Los Angeles, and was looking for a part-time local opportunity. We think it’s a match made in heaven.
