They have a good variety of items for souvenirs and every day use. The prices are set, so no bartering.
- Andy T.Google review · 29 Jan 2022
An awesome little hand-made gift shop where we ended up buying all of the gifts for all of the people on our list. The gifts range from little stuffed animals, to dresses, mobiles to hang over baby cribs, and lots of other cool little gifts, cards and post cards. This is not your typical tchotchke shop. Everything here is original and is handmade by refugees being helped by JRS. It’s all the way down the drive and is the gate on the left for Jesuit Refugee Services. The shop is then at the back of the parking lot. A lil hard to find, but worth the effort.

Good gifts n souvenirs at good prices. Extremely kind and curtious people work at the shop. It's always better to support such a good cause.
