Our Mission Statement
We believe it is important for all of us to give back to the local community in which we work and live, and we encourage you to help the charities we support throughout the year.
History
Established in 2009
A small group of Centre County people with BIG hearts came together earlier this year to form a special collective of Craft Show vendors willing to work together to help to raise much needed funds for their Penns Valley area neighbors in need ...
These local men and women included Crafters, Artisans, Farmers Market Sellers and Home Business Owners from various communities throughout "Happy Valley" and beyond.
From their first successful fundraising collaboration held during a brisk mid-winter's day in February, the local grassroots collective known as "Nittany Shop With Heart" was born.
Our Vision
Our Nittany Shop With Heart collective is a Central PA grassroots effort formed to help strengthen our local economy while helping our neighbors and our communities at the same time.
We believe in giving back to our local communities in which we live and work by partnering as grassroots fundraisers for local non-profit organizations such as The Penns Valley HOPE Fund, The PA Breast Cancer Coalition, and many more.
Not only do we strive to provide high quality goods and personal, home, office and gift items to our shoppers at great prices, we are willing to give back to our local community through our various fundraising efforts, held in conjunction with our seasonal and holiday craft show events.
At each of our benefit craft shows you can shop for one of a kind quality gifts or personal items for your home or for yourself ... and feel
good about making those purchases.
By purchasing our vendor's products, you are showing your support for the fight against
breast disease and other cancers while helping us to increase awareness for the various charities our benefit craft shows support.
For more information about our local grassroots partnership, to join Nittany Shop With Heart as a fellow business vendor, or
to serve as a fundraising volunteer helping Nittany Shop With Heart to raise funds for your group or organization through one of our charity craft shows, please contact us.
The Art Of Giving
By Kent Nerburn
An Excerpt From "Letters To My Son"
"Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices in life no more easily made. And give. Give in any way you can, of whatever you possess. To give is to love. To withold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than how it is shared, and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace."
