Monarch Volunteers Make Jewelry

Get together with a group of women (non-denominational) on Tuesdays to make jewelry which is then sold.  The proceeds go to help young girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking and who are housed at Crisis Aid's Safe Home.  The Safe Home in our area opened in December of last year.  The first of its kind in the St. Louis area.

Get Involved

As we raise awareness and funds to bring restoration and healing to girls rescued from sex trafficking, we believe every God-given gift and talent can be used! Here’s a short list on ways to get involved at Monarch:
  • Jewelry Making: No experience necessary, just a willingness to learn.
  • Marketing: Help with website, social media and print materials.
  • Sales: Be a part of our sales team at exhibits, fundraisers and local business events.
  • Website Sales: Assist with processing and filling orders from our online store.
  • Donations: Seek out donations of jewelry supplies and financial resources for supplies.
  • Organization: Keep finished inventory and supplies organized.
  • Watch for signs of trafficking: Go to www.humantrafficking.org to learn about the signs of a trafficked person.
  • Retail Representative: Deliver products, display jewelry; interface with store owners

Latest Event

On Thursday, November 21, 2013 we held a show at Faith Lutheran Church and it was a huge success!  About 200 joined us to buy handcrafted, artistic jewelry and accessories.  Many were buying Christmas Gifts!  Sorry if you weren't able to attend this year; but plan for next year.
