Project Shoppe Provides An Income Stream Features Locally Sourced Products Enables Us To Feed More Clients
Project Shoppe was born out of the need to provide our organization with an income stream as well as the need to increase community awareness, (ultimately increasing the number of meals and clients we can serve).
Fun facts: our Shoppe’s grand opening on September 24, 2010 marks the 8th anniversary of Village Project’s inception as well as the 5th anniversary of moving into our current building space!
Learn The Story Behind Our Products

Gourmet Firehouse Salsa is owned by Angelo Tetorakis, who makes and sells his famous mango and pineapple salsas.
The journey began while Angelo, a now retired firefighter, was making salsa for his co-workers one evening at the firehouse. The recipe slowly evolved as the other firemen told Angelo how to improve its taste, and eventually the first of his famous recipes emerged.
All of Firehouse Salsa’s ingredients are free of additives, preservatives, and fillers, and include all natural fruit, peppers, and spices. They are delicious on crackers, served with cheese, or used in your everyday cooking.

Modern Sprout was desperate for a fool-proof way to cultivate healthy herbs, vegetables, and flowers, yet maintain their self-esteem. They wanted a victory garden, not planters full of defeat.
After researching non-traditional options, they found hydroponics. A method of cultivation that’s clean, self-maintaining, and yields fantastic results, hydroponics immediately seemed perfect for busy people like them.
But every kit they tried was expensive, difficult to set up, and more homely than homey. They were unimpressed with their options, so they planted the seeds for Modern Sprout. Now they provide planters that are simple, stylish, and fertile with success.
Just add water.

Founded by Jess Ekstrom out of Raleigh, North Carolina, Headbands of Hope is an apparel line of headbands for ladies and kids designed to support children with cancer.
Inspired by a summer internship at a wish-granting organization, Jesse saw that a lot of kids loved to wear headbands after losing their hair to chemotherapy. She did a google search and realized that there were no businesses donating headbands to kids with cancer, only wigs and hats. Jess started Headbands of Hope out of her dorm room in college with two headbands, her computer, and a burning passion to help these kids (and a lot of coffee).
Today, Headbands of Hope is carried in thousands of stores across the world. They’ve been featured on the TODAY Show, Good Morning America, Vanity Fair, Seventeen Magazine, and even supported by celebrities like Lea Michele, Lauren Conrad, Kelsea Ballerini, Lili Reinhart and more.
But more importantly, Headbands of Hope has donated headbands to every children’s hospital in America and 15 countries. When you purchase a headband from Project Shoppe, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a hospital of our choice.
WE HOPE YOUR HEADBAND WILL SERVE AS A REMINDER WHEN YOU WEAR IT THAT SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS CAN MAKE A HUGE IMPACT.
