Abilis Opens Handmade Boutique in Glenville
Greenwich, CT – A small building connected to the Abilis greenhouse on Glenville Street has been transformed into a sweet-smelling boutique, filled with hand-crafted soaps, jewelry, pet accessories and other gifts created by the organization’s clients.
Abilis, which supports people with developmental disabilities, held the grand opening for the shop on Thursday evening.
The venture is another way that Abilis clients are learning work skills, with the goal of transferring them to jobs in the community. Aside from making the products — beaded wine-glass charms, candles, magnets, dog biscuits and more — for the store, Abilis clients will also work as sales clerks and greeters, and will stock the shelves and clean.
