From FOR KEEPS
For Keeps, a locally-owned, female-owned business, will give back to the community that supports it each year in November.
For Keeps, 144 S. Main St., Bowling Green, will have its 17th annual Santa’s Helper event from Nov. 13-15. This event aims to give back to the local community by collecting non-perishable items for a local food pantry, BG Christian Food Pantry.
During this event, For Keeps will offer a 20% discount to each customer that brings in three or more non-perishable items to donate to the pantry. The discount will apply to every regular-priced item in the shop. The store has three levels that include jewelry, seasonal decor, and gifts.
Amy Craft Ahrens, owner of For Keeps, said this event has become a staple of the shop’s holiday season and is a great way to kick off the season of giving.
“We just love this weekend each year,” Craft Ahrens said. “It feels good to give back to your community. And this year we know that food pantries have even bigger needs than normal. This is something we can do to help.”
Shopping local contributes to an interconnected community, and Craft Ahrens feels it is equally important for local businesses to give back to the community which supports them. She and the staff at For Keeps appreciate the opportunity to serve their customers and the community.
For Keeps is open Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon – 4 p.m. For more information, contact Amy Craft Ahrens at shop@forkeepsgifts.com.
