How to help

  1. Purchase a rug.  This is the single most important way to help. Minimum wage is around $200 a month. With one rug purchase you can support a family for one week. There is no commission on sales. All profits go directly to the artist.
     
    You can now purchase online at etsy:

  2. Have the rugs at your next camp or hook-in. This is a simple fun way to see the rugs and help the project. I will send you rugs to sell. After the event you will simply send back unsold rugs.
  3. Organize a rug show. This can be at a church, gallery, restaurant, club etc. I will send rugs for display with photographs of each woman and information about her life. I can also come to an opening for the show with a slide show presentation. 
  4. Have a rug raffle at your next hook-in or camp. 
  5. Donate scholarship money to Mujeres en Cambio for a girls education.  www.mujeresencambio.org
  6. Purchase the DVD "The Rug Hookers of Agustin Gonzales" (the $15 goes to pay for promotional materials for the group). For a sample cut click below:
