Pure Purpose
Holiday Market
Pure Purpose is a different kind of holiday market. Our mission is to spread the news that there is power in purpose-driven shopping. Our market vendors either have social impact built into their model or have agreed to contribute a percentage of their sales to a community non-profit organization. We believe there is power in how we choose to spend/buy/gift and can make an impact on the issues we care about!
