We wouldn't be able to do what we do at the level we do it without all the great gifts, talents and abilities our wonderful staff bring to the table.
Alesen Corella - Founder
An avid yard-saler and thrifter all her life and after having raised all three children she asked herself, "what would be a fun thing to do the rest of my life?"
Her grandmother was the first original "hippie" and created a magical garden from dumpster diving her local alleyways. She passed on her love of no waste and re-purposing to all 13 of her grandchildren.
Alesen is also passionate about working with people in helping them find their passions, gifts and abilities and putting them to work in those strengths so that they can find meaningful, purposeful fulfilling work.
She is excited to be able to partner with great people doing great work for others in our community to help them do even more great work! A Thrift store seemed a natural platform in which to do all these things. Thus the vision of Gatherings was born.
