At the completion of the program, Weston women are valuable employees with a good work ethic and transferable skills. With these skills in place and a new sense of self, the women of Weston are prepared to be successful in the community.

Since Weston neither seeks nor receives funding from state or federal sources, income is generated in three ways:

1. Assembly contracts with area manufacturers provide 40 percent of program moneys. Through this vehicle, women learn valuable and transferable work skills.

2. Creative Works Gallery & Marketplace - Weston opened a screen printing operation, which now prints tees, gym uniforms, sweat shirts, sweat pants, aprons, tote bags, caps, etc., for area schools, churches, private groups and businesses. Weston also has a dye transfer operation using photographs and clip art. The photos and clip art are reprinted with fabric dye on special paper, and then, the image is transferred from the paper to the object through a heat press process. Once again, valuable skills are learned by the participants. Weston's goal to manage its own industry has been realized. The Creative Works Gallery & Marketplace is a store that contains screen printed and dye transfer products for sale, as well as photographs for sale by Photographer Diane McCormick.

3. Grants from foundations and businesses, donations from civic and religious groups, an annual appeal drive, and other fundraising activities provide the third source of income for Weston.
