We are completely funded by community - Donations from YOU, whether physical or monetary, are what will keep this project alive for many years to come! Your donations will help us cover expenses associated with running a store (utilities, rent, taxes, insurance, etc.).
You may make a tax deductible donation HERE, and your name or business will appear on our website.
Note: We are fiscally sponsored by Ohio Voice (a 501c3 nonprofit) which means we’re able to receive tax-deductible donations as well as grants under the Ohio Voice umbrella as we continue to grow!
