The Small Hinge

Shop. Empower. Change a Life.

Partnering with the community to empower those in need to better their lives.



Bringing our local community together to open doors for those in poverty. Seeking entrepreneurs and local artisans to serve as mentors to clients whose products will be sold in our on-line boutique and retail storefront, The Small Hinge. Proceeds will go to support Avenue of Life, a sister organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through community development.

With over 30 years in combined sales and retail experience, Melody Tener has brought both her heart and talent together to create this exciting new ministry and retail opportunity.
