The beCAUSE Craft Show was created so that our local community could reach out and help many organizations that are in need through the efforts of one event, while supporting the business of local vendors. We believe that we can effect change on a global scale with actions we take as individuals. Each local vendor in the craft show is a part of a collaborative effort to support social and environmental activism on a larger scale. With this event, we also support local artisans and businesses in a grassroots effort to support our immediate community. 

The unique thing about beCAUSE is that every purchase made at the show directly supports a charity or non-profit organization. The show has raised over $30,000 collectively in the past 4 years and this year promises to be even more successful, with more vendors attending. March 20th will mark the 5th year the show has run and it just keeps growing. Over 100 Vermont handcrafters will be selling their wares, and all of them have committed to donating 50%-100% of their profits to a charity of their choice. Be active in your community and support local Vermont businesses by attending the beCAUSE craft show on March 20th at the Ross Sports Center at St. Michael’s College from 9:30am-4:30pm. The admission price of the show is $2 and will be donated directly to the Heavenly Pantry Food Shelf in its entirety. Children under 12 attend free.
