more than a gift store:
The St. Michael's Woman's Exchange is more than a gift shop. Primarily volunteers staff our shop and our profits are given back to the community through charitable grants each year. Since the founding of the store in 1958 in Highland Park Village, over $4 million dollars have been distributed by the Women of St. Michael to social service agencies and organizations throughout the world. With every purchase made at St. Michael's Woman's Exchange, two gifts are made - one to the intended recipient for a birthday, christening or wedding and again when our profits are returned to the community.
mission statement:
To Foster a sense of Christian fellowship and personal growth among women, while providing the means, through our store, of contributing to the outreach of the Church as well as the philanthropic good of the community.
founded:
The St Michael's Woman's Exchange was founded in 1958 by The Women of St. Michael at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Dallas, Texas. The store has remained as a fund raising arm of that organization and is a member of the Federation of Woman's Exchanges.
