I think the most important thing that I learned is that I can't do it all by myself.
Ever wondered how discarded items can spark creativity and change lives? In this episode of 'Courage to Hope', Tony Lagreca chats with Gail Farrell, the visionary behind Newagain. This non-profit turns waste into art while empowering adults with developmental delays to gain independence. Gail's journey began as a simple hobby but soon blossomed into a community-driven initiative that impacts both the environment and the lives of many individuals.
Tony and Gail dive into the ups and downs of running a non-profit, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs along the way. They discuss how Newagain offers a supportive space where people with developmental delays can learn new skills, earn a living, and feel valued. The conversation also touches on accessibility, with Newagain making strides to ensure their space is welcoming to everyone, including those with mobility issues.
A standout part of this episode is the focus on zero waste. Gail explains how Newagain’s store promotes sustainability by offering unpackaged products and a refillery for household items like detergents and soaps. The initiative not only reduces waste but also educates the community on the importance of sustainable living. Gail’s story is a beautiful example of how creativity and compassion can drive positive change.
