Products with Purpose By Julie McCallum

Glory Haus and Pickles with a Purpose Molly Holm, owner/chief creative officer

Mission: “Community transformation that glorifies the Lord and changes lives through our work, art and relationships.”

How do the products serve the mission? “Pickles with a Purpose” was launched in April 2015 by Molly Holm’s son, Luke Holm. The nonprofit organization is managed by Glory Haus, and sells the family gourmet sweet and spicy pickles in 16-ounce jars and 12-pack cases to retailers across the country. In addition, Glory Haus products (tea towels, burlap table runners, pillows, etc.) produced in the company’s India factory are providing fair-trade jobs to impoverished women.

Plans for the future: Many new products are launching in January 2016. The Collegiate and Everyday vintage boards and frames were designed to create a softer, more neutral look that is timeless and classic. “Journey Jars” are a one-of-a kind necklace from Sadie Robertson’s Live Original Glory Haus Collection that allows you to bottle memories from along your journey. The new Strong + Kind Collection for Korie Robertson of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” is inspired by Robertson’s new “Strong and Kind” book. “The new Intentional Life by Crystal Paine (MoneySavingMom.com) collection is a beautiful reminder that YOU were created to make a difference, and to count your blessings. Glory Haus is also excited about its new Nativity Collection launching in January.”

How Can Retailers Get More Involved? Retailers can become more involved by carrying Glory Haus products in their stores.
