Shoppers at the Wheeling Artisan Center throughout the month of July have the opportunity not only to purchase unique items there, but also to help out veterans’ causes.

The public is invited to come “Shop With A Purpose” at the Wheeling Artisan Shop and Prodigal Daughter Treasures and Trinkets, Ltd., both located on the first floor of the Wheeling Artisan Center. Those donating $5 to Northern Panhandle Veterans Council while shopping will receive 15% off their purchase in either store.

The discount is good only on in-store purchases. The Wheeling Artisan Center is located at 1400 Main St. in downtown Wheeling.

All proceeds from the promotion benefit NPVC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering veterans and their families through support, resources, and community connections.

“The Northern Panhandle Veterans Council is dedicated to empowering veterans and their families with unwavering support, community and resources to thrive,” said Joel Nicholson, president of the Northern Panhandle Veterans Council. “We are honored to partner with Wheeling Heritage in our mission to serve our military veterans — Honoring Heroes, Preserving Heritage.”

“For more than two decades, the Wheeling Artisan Shop has showcased the work of West Virginia artisans,” said Scott Schenerlein, executive director of Wheeling Heritage. “This collaboration gives shoppers a meaningful way to support our veterans while celebrating local makers.”
