One Heart Stories: Kicking Off Our Giving Tuesday Countdown
Independent retailers are more than places to shop. They are the heart of our communities, where neighbors gather, where first jobs begin, and where towns celebrate milestones. They give Main Streets their character and keep local economies strong.
Running a small, independent business is not easy. From natural disasters to shifting economies, retailers face challenges that can threaten their survival. Heart on Main Street is here to help independent retailers recover, rebuild, and thrive.
This Giving Tuesday, we are launching One Heart Stories, a 12-week series leading up to December 2 that shares the real experiences of retailers across the country. Each story will show the resilience, creativity, and determination that define Main Street, and the powerful impact supporters like you can make.
You will hear about:
A children’s boutique that reopened after a hurricane thanks to donors and volunteers.
How saving one shop created a ripple effect for employees, families, and the entire town.
The dreams of retailers looking toward the future, and how your support makes them possible.
These stories remind us that One Day. One Heart. Endless Impact.
👉 Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Together, we can ensure independent retailers continue to thrive as the heart of every community.
