In celebration of the grand opening, Altar’d State will be giving away a free tote bag with purchase to the first 100 customers on Aug. 10.

Altar’d State funds volunteer hours for its employees and hosts Mission Mondays, which are a chance for the stores to give back in their local community. Every Monday 10 percent of net proceeds are donated to a local charity. Each store votes on a theme and chooses a charity they are passionate about based on the chain-wide theme. The charities vary every other month throughout the year. Altar’d State works with retailers aligned with their vision, including FEED Products, Krochet Kids and TOMS Shoes. They also have their own Altar’d State brand in which a portion goes to feed, clothe, educate and shelter children around the world.
