Hope For Women now in Whole Foods Market stores
Dear Friends of Hope For Women,
Recently we became an approved vendor for the Midwest Region of Whole Foods Market - the world's largest retailer of natural and organic foods. Hope For Women greeting cards can now be found in 19 of the region's Whole Foods Market stores. This is a major step forward in the national market expansion program for Hope For Women.
In that regard, we have formed very strong relationships with a diverse group of incredible retailers who are supporting Fair Trade products throughout the country. I am thrilled to announce that Hope For Women greeting cards are now available in over 200 stores in 42 states around the United States. In just 9 short months we have achieved a national sales presence within food stores, stationary stores, booksellers, botanical gardens, yoga studios, clothing stores, fair trade shops, gardening centers, gift stores, coffee and tea shops and other exceptional retailers. Use our store locator to find a retailer near you.
Our Success Means Greater Stability

- Maya
Due to the increase in demand for Hope For Women's greeting cards we are able to provide Maya and other Hope For Women artisans stability - something that wasn't in their lives beforehand.
We are now able to offer Hope For Women artisans a monthly wage as well as payment for each card they produce - this means steady work that they can count on each month. This stability allows them to leave less-fulfilling and lower paying work that previously served as their base income.
On my latest visit to India I was very excited to see Maya come towards me one morning with some obviously good news. The soft spoken woman had a big smile and announced that she would be leaving her other jobs as a domestic helper, where each day she would spend a total of 4 to 5 hours cleaning and cooking in two different homes.
"I am so thankful to leave that work and spend my time creating art" Maya said as she headed out to pick some flowers in our garden. "I'll see you in the office tomorrow! I am so excited to come to work!".
Thank you for your continued support
We always enjoy hearing from you with any comments or questions. Please get in touch! Thank you for your support and interest in Hope For Women.
Sincerely,
Evan Goldsmith
