Support Local Vendors After Devastating Theft

Donation protected
In the early hours of June 4, there was a devastating break in. Thieves smashed through the front door of our vendor marketplace and stole thousands of dollars in merchandise from hardworking, local, small business owners.

What Happened
The burglars destroyed two locked display cases and stole nearly 75% of one vendor's vintage jewelry and 90% of another vendor's handcrafted knife inventory. Initial estimates place losses at more than $30,000.

Who They Hurt
These are not large corporations. They are local artisans, craftspeople, and small family owned businesses who have spent years building their inventory one piece at a time.

How Donations Will Help
Every dollar raised will be used to help affected vendors replace stolen inventory, repair or replace damaged displays, increase security and recover from this loss.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, and community groups. We thank you so much for your consideration and support. It takes a village.
