SEASON & SHADOW CONTINUES THIS LEGACY

"The work program gave me more than just skills; it restored my confidence and sense of self-worth. I found the courage—the “guts”—to stand up for myself and believe I was capable of creating a better future. Being part of the Merryman House community surrounded me with people who valued and respected me, which gave me a deep sense of inclusion and belonging."
-A Merryman House Client

Why Create Jobs?

Of the clients we saw in the past year:
  • 56% are unemployed
  • 61% lost employment due to abusive partner
  • 75% have financial obstacles to living independently
  • 83% lack reliable transportation to work
Our clients need a job-readiness program and worksite that is purposeful, safe, and provides them skills to take into the marketplace. Season & Shadow is a solution to this problem. We create everyday spice blends, made by survivors, creating jobs and sustainability for our programs.

How It Works

Made possible by a contribution by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Season & Shadow will create jobs in:
  • Spice production 
  • Packaging and fulfillment
  • Marketing and sales 
Eventually we will use the existing garden space on our property to grow some of the ingredients in our spice blends!
The goal?
To bring delicious flavors into your home, while creating much needed jobs for survivors.
