Our Mission 

Fountain House + Body is an employment social enterprise by Fountain House. We offer handmade and sustainable home goods to provide meaningful work opportunities to people living with mental illness in New York City.  

About Us 

From its inception, in 2019, Fountain House + Body has been a collaborative endeavor, with the Fountain House community working together to develop recipes, source environmentally and socially responsible products, and to design an accessible space for our store. Our first location in Soho closed in early 2024 and we decided to reopen in a new location around the corner from our clubhouse in Hell's Kitchen. 

Our New Location 

Opening in the spring of 2025, 698 Tenth Avenue houses our soap and candle workshop, our retail store, and our fair-trade café. Now we can create jobs for twice as many New Yorkers with mental illness, and we have made a transitional space for community use. We still carry many of the same products, including refillables. Our open workshop is a great place to stop by to learn about candle and soap making while grabbing a coffee. 

Our Products 

We make cold-processed soaps, candles, and refillable cleaning solutions by hand, using all natural ingredients. We also sell environmentally friendly home goods and bath products from brands like Iris Hantverk, Bamboo Switch, Marley's Monsters, Dip, Poppy & Pout, Stojo, and W&P. We work with Emma's Torch to help stock and ship their holiday boxes, and we've partnered with Gimme! to provide fair trade organic coffee. We stock bulk refills for some cleaning products with custom scent options. We also make custom and wholesale soaps and candles.
