About Me

ue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc is the only textile charity committed to supporting the lives of survivors of domestic violence. With such a small percentage of women leaving domestic violence situations nationwide, we felt it was important to provide direct support to these women who have made the courageous first steps towards change. Each year SROE partners volunteers with the raw materials to create NEW clothing and accessories they will need as they live in transitional housing. Many times women leaving the cycle of violence only have their basics upon entering a residence. Volunteers create handknit and hand crocheted sweaters, shrugs, bags, tops and so much more!

We have established wonderful relationships with Safe Horizon, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Family Justice Center and Sanctuary for Families. As part of our mission, we train in all aspects of the textiles arts - including knitting (machine and hand), crocheting, sewing/tailoring, macrame and needlepoint.

The non-profit has a unique funding engine - Sue Rock Originals, an eco-fashion brand of women's separates selling at boutiques throughout the NY area. Using reclaimed fabrics from the interior design and garment industries, Sue Rock Originals has a line of "Back to Basics" separates which are flattering to every figure!
