dWELLing Home Décor & Apparel, located in Ringgold, GA, is giving back to the community this Spring. In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, dWELLing will donate a share of the proceeds collected from April 23 thru May 12 to Oakwood Christian Academy.
A faith-based home décor, gift, and apparel boutique, dWELLing is a small business with a big heart for the community. Investing in education is one way the owners, AJaye Mashburn and Lindsey McClure, feel they can contribute.
“We love Ringgold and North Georgia, and as parents, Lindsey and I understand the incredible impact educators have on our children,” Mashburn explained. “When we came up with the idea for ‘Spirit Nights,’ our goal was to remind the community that Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, provide a place where teachers can create their own wish lists, and then to give a portion of the proceeds to the school to help meet their needs.”
According to Vicki Garner, the Principal for Oakwood Christian Academy’s Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade, “Oakwood Christian Academy is a school that ‘unites a passion for Christ with excellence in academics.’ We are grateful and thankful for opportunities like the ones given to us by businesses like dWELLing Home Décor & Apparel that step up to fill in the gap to help support our mission.”
