Housing Works Member Spotlight: Beth Torstrick Ward
Satya Jewelry co-founder Beth Torstrick Ward wanted to use her thriving yoga-inspired jewelry business to promote Housing Works’ mission to end AIDS and homelessness.
“We like to support what we ourselves are touched by,” Torstrick Ward said. “Housing Works does a great job of combining shopping, giving back, and cleaning out the closet.”
So Satya Jewelry teamed up with Housing Works to create the Housing Works Tree of Life Necklace, with all proceeds going to Housing Works. Since its creation in March, sale of the necklace has so far netted more than $2,500 toward lifesaving services, such as housing, medical and mental health care, and job training for Housing Works clients.
An added bonus? Satya Jewelry’s donation to Housing Works turned Torstick Ward into a Housing Works Member, qualifying her for discounts at Housing Works Thrift Shops and Housing Works Bookstore Café.
Members at the Supporter Level ($480 or $40/month) and above get a free pair of tickets to Fashion for Action Opening Night, November 19.
“Housing Works Membership is the gift that keeps on giving,” said Torstrick Ward, who recently applied her Membership Discount to buy a fall Armani vest for herself and a set of Mark Twain books for her husband ‘s birthday at our Brooklyn Heights Thrift Shop.
Become a Housing Works Member and get the gift that keeps on giving. Or for another gift, purchase the Housing Works Tree of Life Necklace for $48 at ShopHousingWorks.com or at all Satya boutiques.
