You have to see the beforeβ¦β¦..
Sometimes you have to look back to realize just how far youβve come. π¦
A few months ago, we walked into this space and had to use a lot of imagination.
It didnβt look like Monarch yet.
There wasnβt a boutique. There werenβt workshop tables filled with people creating. There wasnβt a coffee corner, beautiful displays, volunteers working together, or customers walking through the doors.
There was simply a space with lots of wallsβ¦and a vision for what it could become.
Then the transformation began.
Walls came down. Floors were laid. Cabinets were built. Paint went on the walls. Furniture arrived. Displays were created. Boxes were unpacked. And slowly, piece by piece, we watched something that had lived in our hearts and on paper begin to take shape right in front of us.
But this transformation is about so much more than a renovated space.
Every wall, every table and every little detail represents the people who gave, volunteered, encouraged, built, carried, painted, assembled, prayed and believed in what Monarch could become.
There were long days, unexpected challenges, plenty of changes along the wayβand so many moments when someone simply showed up and said, βHow can I help?β
And then one day, we looked around and realizedβ¦
It had become Monarch. π€
A place to shop.
A place to create.
A place to gather.
A place to serve.
And most importantly, a place where all of those things can help change lives.
This video is a little glimpse behind the scenesβfrom what it was, to what you see when you walk through our doors today.
What a transformation. What a journey. And weβre only getting started. π¦
If you havenβt stopped by yet, weβd love to see you!
