Purchase with a Purpose Nonprofit. Fair trade shop. Secondhand shop. Market for missions. Think globally, act locally. There are 3 ways to shop!

1. It's also how we got our start.

PWAP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit fair trade gift + secondhand shop providing a market for missions both locally and globally through our local shop in Tuscaloosa, online shop, and our annual holiday shopping events. We highlight vendors working in the fight against human trafficking and poverty, organizations providing orphan prevention and orphan care, global missions, adoptive families, and local nonprofit ministries. We are completely volunteer run so that 100% of our proceeds fund local and global missions. Visit our shop located at 2231 Veterans Memorial Parkway, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404 - directly across from American Christian Academy. Open Tuesday 10-2, Wednesday 10-2, Thursday 10-6, Friday 10-2, and Saturday 10-2.

2. Our annual party is a unique holiday shopping experience with 100% of the proceeds benefiting others in our community and around the globe. Mark your calendars for November 9th and 10th this year at Northport Baptist.

3. Shop with us online at www.purchasewithapurposeshop.com. Started in 2013, Purchase with a Purpose has raised over $400,000 for local and global missions.
