For the person on your shopping list who loves jewelry, be sure to visit Saret, Treasures of Hope, in Glen Ellyn’s Baker Hill Shopping Center. The shop is chock full of work from artisans in Italy, India, Nepal, Israel, Peru, China, and the United States.
Italian art glass necklaces and pendants sparkle in a rainbow of colors. Semi-precious stones in unique designs are abundant. The jewelry sales, along with natural body and home care products, all support the Saret Charitable Fund.
Saret is a grassroots, not for profit, philanthropic organization that assists DuPage residents in need of immediate assistance. Saret helps homeless families secure housing, offers financial assistance to people who are desperately ill and unable to work, makes temporary loans to those in need, and helps people find work to support themselves.
Chana Bernstein is the founder and president of Saret Charitable Fund, and has guided the group for 24 years. The organization’s name comes from a two year old Cambodian girl living in Wheaton. While Saret Yann was being treated for a liver disease that took her life, volunteers assisted the family and later founded the charity in her name.
Today, the retail store is just one part of the fundraising effort that helps local residents. Other programs include an Adopt a Family Project, and Car Donation. Volunteers are always welcome.
