Following each sale, sellers have the option to donate their unsold items to local charities. These local charities include RETA (Reason Enough to Act, Elkhart), The Center (Nappanee), The Cove Clothing Pantry (Elkhart), Lifegate Ministries (Burea Missionary Church, Shipshewana), as well as others. In addition, a portion of total sales is donated to local organizations such as those listed above. Similarly, seller registration fees are given back to the community in the form of resale gift certificates for families in need.
